My beautiful Zemo is truly the most loving lion in the world. There aren’t enough words to express how deeply I love him. We rescued and hand-raised him after he lost his mother, and in October, we sent him to Africa with his sister Zala—right where they both belong ❤️

This is KIFU, the silverback gorilla I’ve known my whole life, and we’ve built a completely natural bond 🫶🦍. He’s so cheeky — I always carry food in my pockets, and he steals it all, making sure none of the others (even his wife!) get any 😅.

‼️ For those unaware, this video was filmed at our sanctuary, where we rescue and rewild animals 🦍🌳🌍. We’re the only organization in the world to have successfully returned a gorilla to the wild — now nearly 80 live freely ❤️‍🔥. Our survival rate is 96%, and we’ve rewilded almost 2,000 animals 💘.

Animals don’t belong in cages; they belong in the wild. We oppose zoos. Kifu remains at our sanctuary because his wives, who are slightly older, need medical care three times a day and couldn’t survive the trip back to Africa. Gorillas live in family groups, so sending him alone would be unnatural — it’s like separating humans from their families forever, which would be heartbreaking. While he stays with us, his five sons are thriving freely in the wild ❣️.

It’s crucial that any animal able to return to the wild should do so, and those that cannot should receive the best possible care. But this shouldn’t justify zoos keeping animals in cages for profit.

Zemo is still behaving just like a little 🦁 cub…🥹❤️

This time last year with sweet Kazo 🩵 We rescued him and his three sisters just hours before they were set to be euthanized. For the first four months, we weren’t sure Kazo would survive—he was incredibly sick—but we fought for him, and he pulled through. During that time, I formed such a special bond with Kazo and his sisters. I love him deeply, and they love me too. Soon, we’ll be sending him to Africa, where he truly belongs ❤️

The greatest love in the world — from an apex predator that could kill you, but doesn’t.

Zemo and Zala, the lions you see in this video, are the ones I hand-raised and later returned to Africa. We built the most beautiful bond built on pure love and trust. They have filled my heart with more joy than I can ever explain❤️

Sitting in the African sun with the most amazing lion in the world — Zemo 🤍
I hand-raised Zemo and his sister Zala after their mother died, at our sanctuary in the UK and later returned them both to Africa, where they now live

The most loving sound from the most loving gorilla, Kifu 🦍—whom I’ve known my entire life and share a completely natural bond with ❤️

We’re the only people in the world to have successfully returned gorillas to the wild, with nearly 80 now living free 🙏✨🫶

This video was taken at our rescue sanctuary. Sadly, Kifu can’t return to the wild, but his five sons are now rewilded and free in Gabon and Congo, where we protect over one million acres 💚🦍🌍
