Simba

Born: 2024-04-02

Rescued: 2025-05-23

Simba is yet another lion rescued from the illegal pet trade in Lebanon. He was surrendered by his owner so that he can live out his life with the respect, dignity, care, and space he deserves in our species-appropriate Sanctuary.

Although the start of his life was far from ideal, Simba is a self-assured lion and has fully embraced his life in safety.

Many thanks go to Animals Lebanon for all of their help in Simba’s rescue, as well as Animal Travel Services and Emirates, and everyone else involved in ensuring Simba could be rescued.
