11 Feb 2010 The Yorkshire Pride of Lions

13 Lions were rescued from a run down Romanian zoo and are being given a new lease of life in the UK.

The lions were held in small concrete enclosure and did not have the opportunity to play on grass. This case will clearly have emotional repercussion for the rescued animals. You can find out more about our animal behaviour course here. Or read more about our thoughts on the story here.

The Yorkshire Wildlife Park have raised over £150,000 to move the Lions to the UK but still have another £25,000 to go to give them the home of their dreams.
