Be a Hero for Lions Like Ndulu – Will You Become a Friend?

Ndulu, one of the majestic lions in our care, suffered from a painful claw injury where two bones fused together and pushed through the pad of his paw, causing severe pain to the point where he could not walk properly. Our dear friend and veterinarian Bouvy tried to correct the issue multiple times, but the problem persisted, impacting Ndulu’s quality of life.

Finally, after careful consideration, our team decided to amputate the damaged claw to end his suffering. The surgery was a success! After the procedure, Ndulu made a remarkable recovery. Now, he is back with his pride in his semi-wild enclosure, walking freely again thanks to the care he received.

The surgeries required to treat Ndulu were particularly complicated due to his semi-wild environment because the logistics of performing these operations are challenging.  We also frequently face shortages of medicine in Zambia, making it even more difficult to provide the necessary care.

But if we come together, we can always make it better!
