LIVE LION WEBCAM AT THE WILDHEART TRUST





More info: The two male lions called Vigo and Kumba were rescued from a travelling circus where they had a hard time travelling around Europe in the back of a truck.

Both Vigo and his brother were castrated before they turned one year old, which has meant that they have not developed manes. The other result has been that they have grown incredibly large.

Wildheart Animal Sanctuary which was previously known as Isle of Wight Zoo, was reneamed in April 2021, three years after becoming a charitable trust, in order to reflect the focus on threatened wildlife.

Amongst many things, Wildheart Animal Sanctuary offers special wildlife experiences which are a perfect opportunity for anyone who has ever wanted to get a little closer to exotic wildlife, offering a magical and rare chance to go behind the scenes for a once-in-a-lifetime encounter.
