Rescued lioness walks on grass for first time in her life

Yuna, a lioness rescued from an abandoned house in Kiev after the start of the war, was living in a 3 x 4m enclosure with a concrete floor. Evacuated to a wildlife rescue centre, she was then bombarded by Russian missiles, leaving her severely traumatised and unable to stand.

It took months of specialist care for Yuna to recover from her post-traumatic stress disorder. Overweight due to inactivity and poor diet, she slowly regained her strength.

The first lioness rescued as part of the Big Cats in Crisis campaign , Yuna has regained her confidence in her new sanctuary. Having never walked on grass before, she began to explore her new surroundings with curiosity and determination.
