      I know it was a mad experience: walking and touching them but not playing…just by playing with a domestic cat, you can have scares so imagine lions.

      It is the Casela Park in Mauritius (they speak French there). Only 2 adults (lions or leopard will voluntary go for the walk. Their aim is also to breed white lions (rare in the wild).

      It was slightly scary because their claws are massive. Fun fact: Babies are so fluffy and soft compared to not soft at all adults lion.

      I have put a little video about the walk with adults.
