I've been working with Lions now for almost a year and a half and can honestly say they teach me new things everyday. I would have never imagined them to be so loyal, trusting and so deeply affectionate.
I have a very special bond with one lion in particular called 'Elbows'! You will probably hear him mentioned alot in the future of this blog. Elbows is a special lion... I first met him when he was already 4 months old. He was an extremely affectionate cub and I spent alot of time with him. Everyday when I had some free time I would just go and sit with him. Watching him grow little by little everyday has been extremely satisfying for me. As he grew bigger his temperment has not changed.
He is now a year and a half old and I still love him just as much as I did when he was a naughty little cub. Last year I even had the pleasure of swimming with him in a dam. Although he is big enough to do some serious damage I trust him with my life. The way I see it is if you are always respectfull to your animals , they will love and respect you back. 
Enjoy the pics!
