Simba, the lion king from Disney’s most popular movie, is well-known to most children. As a result, having a pet lion like Simba is a common childhood fantasy. Normally, that’s an impossibility, but a parent made the child’s wish come true in one case.
A father of two has purchased a lion cub for his children even though keeping a lion as a pet is illegal. They decided to watch the lion king movie with time instead of having a real lion. When that pet was no longer wanted after only a few months, they asked for someone to look after him.
Lambert, a 3-month-old lion cub, was saved from that family when he was just a few weeks old. Cat Woman Vicky Keahey, the founder of Texas’ In-Sync Exotic Wildlife Rescue and Educational Center, was the person who saved him.
Keahey said she was really happy to adopt him on the phone with the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries (GFAS), asking if she could accept their offer to take the lion. Because he was born as a lion cub in captivity, Lambert cannot survive in the wild.
The moment he stepped foot in the rescue center, he was full of curiosity and eager to see what was there. His anxiety was understandable at the time, given his age as a cub.
Lambert was used to sharing a bed with his grandfather when he was with the previous owner, so he may be missing him. The fact that he was rescued with nothing more than a blanket may hold the key to his rescue. Keahey decided to give him the blanket brought from his previous house. She lays it away in a corner, and Lambert goes there in a flash.
Since then, he’s never gone a night without a blanket by him. Each rescue facility’s staff member takes great pleasure in providing him with new and plush ones to cuddle with. For the first time ever, Lambert was taught how to eat and enjoy raw meat by his new family.
