Touching Moment Freed Circus Lion Feels Natural Earth For First Time In 13 Years
Will the lion was forced to perform with a travelling circus his whole life and was confined to a cramped cage where he could barely move
A video has captured the incredible moment a circus lion caged for 13 years touches natural earth for the first time.
Will the lion was forced to perform with a traveling circus his whole life and was confined to a cramped cage where he could barely move.
Within seconds, Will – who has only known cold metal floors – can be seen running his paws through the soil - completely besotted by his new environment.
The video was released this week by the Ranchos dos Gnomos, a group based in Brazil that rescue domestic, exotic and wild animals from abusive environments.
At the present time the shelter looks after 230 animals from lions to jaguars, sloths and deer – the sanctuary will take animals of any sort.
