Knowsley Safari might be experiencing a ‘Jurassic Summer’ with its summer dinosaur takeover, but the Safari’s six-strong African Lion pride is reminding us who’s king of the jungle on World Lion Day, Thursday, August 10. With the global population around 40 per cent less than three generations ago, World Lion Day is an opportunity to raise awareness of how we can help protect this majestic big cat.
Listed as a vulnerable species, African Lions are threatened by habitat loss, food shortages due to natural prey decline and illegal wildlife trade, among other factors. Lucy Petrie, carnivore animal manager at Knowsley Safari, said: “Like all lions, our pride relishes being in the spotlight and this World Lion Day will be no different, they’ll be ready for guests to get up close from the safety of their cars - and once inside Lion Country there is no fence between guests and the lions ensuring ultimate visibility.
