We’re wishing our Asiatic lions, Kirana and Keshari, a Happy World Lion Day!

It’s a day when we celebrate and shine the spotlight on this incredible endangered species, of which there are estimated to be only around 600-700 individuals left in the wild.

Our loved-up pair, Kirana and Keshari are part of a European breeding programme, as we hope to boost numbers in the future.

In the wild, Asiatic lions can only be found in the protected Gir Forest National Park in India, with their threats including habitat destruction and climate change.

Visit our website to find out how you can help animal conservation by adopting either Keshari or Kirana.
