Not a pet!
This adorable lion cub is the only one left of his litter after his mother rejected them. But in spite of his sad beginning, he is now being well cared for, and he drinks his formula like there's no tomorrow! Isn't he cute?!
No, this lion is not drugged in any way. The bond we had is what allowed me to interact with them like this, although, of course, I eventually got scratched and bitten, like it happens when you play with any cat, but very lightly, as there was no intention to cause harm.
Do not trust or support places that allow visitors to interact with adult lions! An adult lion would NEVER be ok with the presence of a stranger, no matter how accustomed they are to their carers! And there is no such a thing as bottle-feeding ANY animal that is no longer a baby!!
