HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRISTIAN

Christian was born on the 12th August 1969 in an unprepossessing and long closed down zoo in Ilfracombe, Devon, UK. Who could have imagined after five generations of captivity in Europe, he would be returned to Africa, and be successfully rehabilitated by George Adamson of Born Free fame?

For those unfamiliar with Christian’s story, see his website alioncalledchristian.com.au.

I am most often asked what happened to Christian. No-one knows. Christian was last seen by George Adamson in early 1973 when he was nearly four years old and was growing into one of the largest lions George had ever seen. He had survived the most dangerous years, although life as an adult lion would also always be very challenging. George thought he was looking for a territory of his own, away from the aggressive local lions of Kora. We like to…

On #WorldLionDay Tragedy has struck the 4 Remaining Musketeer #DesertLions Urgent Help and Support Needed

There are a little over 100 Desert Lions that remain today.

On #WorldLionDay Tragedy has struck the 4 Remaining Musketeers (Desert Lions)

In June of this year, Musketeer Harry was shot and killed by farmers due to HWC (Human Wildlife Conflict)

Today news is coming in regarding the 4 Musketeers that remain…..

They are NO LONGER and this again is because of HWC.

HWC is a reality and it needs to be controlled and the only way it can be is if people come together for these Lions so that funds are raised for Kaarl/Bomas, collars, solar lights with sirens to keep controlling the HUMAN LION CONFLICT

If it is was not bad enough that these 5 brothers lost the 1st Musketeer (Harry who was shot and killed this past June by farmers) they have to try and survive in one of the most harshest places on Earth ~ The Namib Desert , while dealing with farmers and their cattle which are pretty much taking over any place where there are lions today.
News coming in today that 3 of the remaining 4 musketeers have been poisoned by Farmers and their bodies and their satellite collars have been burnt….
The remaining Musketeer Xpl-93  has now been relocated to a different area, and I cannot imagine how he will grieve for his brothers not to mention adjust and able to survive in unknown territory…..

For more on this terrible tragedy coming in today please see the Desert Lion Website : http://www.desertlion.info/news.html

~ Do not cut down the forests with its tigers and do not banish the tigers from the forest.
The tiger perishes without the forest, and the forest perishes without its tigers.
Therefore the tigers should stand guard over the forest
and the forest should protect all its tigers. ~

From the Mahabharata,
Udyogaparvan, 29, 47-48 (circa 400 B.C.E.)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The tiger lives in a world of sunlight and shadow
Always secretive–never devious
Always a killer–never a murderer
Solitary–never alone
For it is an irreplaceable link
In the process and the wholeness of life
(John Seidensticker)

Hi, It’s me, Lambert!

Lambert the Lion at In-Sync Exotic Cats

I hope you liked my first post. I’m kinda new at this blog stuff so it may take me a while to get the hang of it. Learning to skateboard was a lot easier than this. Of course I skateboard, but that’s another story.

Today I’d like to tell you what my day is like at In-Sync. At 7:00 AM I get a wake-up call and someone brings me breakfast sandwiches at 7:30. Only kidding. I eat at night. And not sandwiches. I usually eat 2 lbs. of ground meat. Like 8 Quarter-Pounders but no lettuce, pickles onions or sesame seed bun.

During the day I can really do whatever makes me happy. I can play, sleep or simply relax and watch all the goings-on around me. I can spend time in my den, on my den, outside my den, on the playground or IN MY POOL! It’s really up…
