...yes, can understand that...hop he found his way back into the wild and has a family there...thanks for sharing, Steve! enjoy this day and keep smiling...getting hot here now!
My Uncle said he was getting too big to take care of so he Sold him. Not really sure to who. I hope it was to some place that took good care of him.
...wow, good grief!!! that's some big kitty...!!! what finally happened to him?
Then there was the time when my Aunt had a for-real pet Lion named Leo. I used to sort of babysit him & make sure he didn't tear things up. He was a cub when I knew him. You could still sort of carry him around, but he was still pretty strong! If you would walk past him he liked to swat yor legs out from under you. Whe you'd fall, he liked to pounce on you! He wouldn't go for my neck or anything, he just wanted to play & wrestle around. It was quitean experience being that close to a LION! Here's a picture/gif of when he was just a bit older with my Cousin. I guess you could say that I was a bit of a Lion-tamer, but he was so strong he pretty much did what he wanted to!
