The lions are doing well, I've just checked on them.
00:05
They're resting in the crate.
00:07
In a few minutes time we'll be heading to Born Free, that is the southern Born Free
00:12
and we'll be releasing them into their new enclosure.
00:15
So Tsar and Jamil have had the most tragic start to life.
00:20
They are only three years old, they recently turned three in January and they have been
00:26
through the mill, they have had broken bones, been fed on a diet that is completely inappropriate
00:32
for lions.
00:33
We're going to have to build up their immune systems, we're going to have to build up their
00:38
muscle mass so that they become strong, healthy lions here to be able to live out their life
00:43
in the African bush as they should have from the start.
00:45
First thing now is we want them to drink water and then a little bit later they'll be fed.
00:50
But once they drink water we know everything is fine.
00:53
But we'll watch them quite closely and make sure they're fine.
