For those of you who remember, Safia was transported to Addis from the unsafe hovel where I first say her in October and then to her new temporary home in November. She's still in her temporary home, but Born Free Foundation in Ethiopia is about to start the major building on the land given to them by the GoE. So I've been trying to go out to see her before the land is closed to the "public" and before i leave Ethiopia.
I did a little research and found out that "lion enrichment" in zoos includes a toy called a "Boomber Ball" so I ordered a few for Safia, the cheetahs and the other lions.
Here are some pictures from the day I gave Safia her new toy.
Born Free still needs support for the care of Safia and the other animals as well as for the construction of the new wildlife rescue, conservation and eduction center. Click here if you want to learn more and/or donate:
