Lion Collage

I have company this weekend and don't have time to post, so I'm moving yesterday's post from my Wildlife Safari blog over here. My apologies to those who are seeing this twice but these animals are so beautiful they deserve a second look.

***********************************************************************

I was touched by an email I received yesterday from Amy in Virginia. (Hi Amy) Amy and her daughter had watched a pair of lion cubs grow up at their local zoo and had fallen in love with the animals. When more lion cubs were born at the zoo, the two older cubs had to be moved to other wildlife facilities. Amy did a web search to see where the cubs moved to and discovered one was going Wildlife Safari in Winston Oregon and found my Wildlife Safari blog.

In Amy's email she said: "I was wondering if you might be willing to watch over our male lion cub Granby when he arrives at your beautiful wildlife park. I would love to find out how he is doing and see images as he grows"

Of course I look forward to Granby's arrival and will share news and photos of him as I get them.

I decided to put together a collage of some of my favorite Wildlife Safari lion posts so Amy can see how well and happy the lions are here.

I'm Featured!

Got an email from KATU News in Portland, Oregon asking if they could feature my Wildlife Safari blog on their website. Of course I said yes :) Check it out quick, it might be gone tomorrow.

This is the photo they used for the link



Thanks Shannon

Lion King

I'm bringing this magnificent animal over from my Wildlife Safari blog because he's too awesome not to share with more folks. He has such character in his face. He lives at the Wildlife Safari in Winston Oregon.
