Sounds like an amazing sanctuary when they release the cubs, how does that work? Since cubs will stick with their pack until they’re a bit older.
That spotted cat looks like a spotted pear ! Lol
Big spotted pear with a big attitude!! Haha [emoji23]

It’s all carefully managed by the wildlife authorities. Cubs born out of the native areas generally remain in the breeding programme. They will be taken to the release country and live in reserves their to have cubs that will become part of that wild population. Cubs born in captivity are not generally released themselves.

Good mornoonevening roomies.

I am finally back with a signal. We have frequent sudden heavy downpours here in Kent interspersed with brief sunny spells.

We went down to The Big Cat Sanctuary and stayed the night - a gift that we have only just been able to use.

It’s not a zoo open to the public. They’re heavily involved in breeding and conservation programmes and do these stays as fundraisers.

I got to feed a cheetah and a Sumatran tigers - photos on the camera not my phone so you will have to make do with a photo of JoesDad feeding Kasanga, a male asiatic lion who is off to join a breeding programme in Uganda shortly

Hello Linda, I would like to visit that Big Cat Sanktury too. To be so close to these strong animals is really a special experience and I would like to handfeed such a big cat too.
Wonderful pics ( as ever ). Thank you for sharing them with us. I am a little bit envy ..... :)... but only a little bit.:D

Good morning roommates on this cold, windy and rainy sunday in my corner. The time comes when I think about using the wood stove again and be happy to have a good working central heating. A fear it is the beginning of a long and cold "Moonsun" time here in Germany as usual. No snow, but a lot of cold rain and mud wherever you look and step.....
I want to hibernate, - now !

*Looks down at tortoise.*
Now I know, the sound is obvious. The sound of a male tortoise mating is very distinctive. My Greek, Joe, wasn't fussy about what he mated with... shoes, rocks, bin bags, shoes, the drain cover, shoes, tennis balls... Did I mention shoes?

We heard it regularly :D
