As much as I would love to pet and snuggle lion, I feel so sad for this poor guy. A safari where the "wild" animals are not natural wildlife of the area is just a ridiculous idea. It's basically just a tour of the zoo.

Lest anyone mistake a lion living free in Kenya as this tamed down habituated lion in Crimea, beware. Captive tourists zoos are a crime tho they do foster love of animals. They habituate wild animals to human interaction & become a nuisance or a danger. Respect wildness. This is disturbing to those of us who wish to preserve & keep animals in their natural habitat, not a money making scheme for Russian controlled Crimea.

I have this effect on animals but it is obvious that someone in that vehicle was sending him good vibes.

Wow! Just a big pussycat after all.

I just hope they keep him well fed.
