One more from my recent visit to this sanctuary, they only provide a home for the animals to live after coming from different situations.

This beautiful lion is named Mufasa, and here is some information on this handsome fellow.

Mufasa joined Black Pine's family in June 2011. He was ordered by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to be moved due to concerns of escape from a cage that needed repairs. Mufasa's home at Black Pine is his third, having been born in captivity and kept as a pet, then rescued and housed at the facility that became too dilapidated to keep him safely. He has endured at least three surgeries over the years to address issues with teeth and bones in his jaw, riddled with infection for many years. These kinds of ailments, which can be treated by veterinarians, would result in certain death for a wild lion.

I used the 40D/70-300 Is USM lens combo, and shot through fencing.

Thank you for commenting.
