An unusual friendship of one man and his Lion

We all have a best friend, the one to whom we turn for advice, communication and other vital "trifles." And here at this amateur lions from South Africa have a very special best friend. For the past 11 years, Fricke von Solms educates and raises his friend - a lion named Zion. He took the child's upbringing after her mother abandoned cub. Zion was born in captivity, and Fricke, fearing that the baby's father might hurt him (which is not uncommon in Pride), he took him under his opeku.











Now Zion vymahal in a huge lion, and Fricke describes him as a "gentle giant". Fricke said that he was lucky - he was lucky to see all stages of maturity Ziona.



Without a typically aggressive education Zion proves that not all the lions are the same. Fricke argues that each of them - their unique features. "They have personality, sense of humor and even laughter».







These two love long walks, and during these walks Fricke holds the tail of Zion.





Zion has never attacked a man Fricke trust him at 100% .
