Not Like Others: Lioness Breaks Stereotypes about Wild Animals

This female lioness, called Sirga doesn’t know the concept of social distance. Since childhood, she has got used to close contact with “other species” without inflicting any damage.

Sirga doesn’t harm people, moreover, she has such a strong bond with her trainer Valentine Gruener, that can’t imagine a minute without him. The acclimatization of wild animals has not always succeeded, however Sirga’s case is an exclusion. The girl’s parents have long been bothering the local farmers, and the attempts to adapt to wild animals didn’t succeed.

They were liquidated, yet Sirga, who was born during the process of her parent’s adaptation, gave signs of hope. Gruener raised a socially adjusted animal, which could coexist among habited areas, without harming anyone around.

Curiously, Sirga lives in the wildlife, she hunts for herself in an allocated area of about 2000 acres. The sample of her re-education gives some hope to suppose that making contact with wildlife and coexistence without harming each other is quite possible.

This tiny cutie, with the name Wild, is one of the rare kittens who weren’t lucky since the very beginning of their life. However, later Wild succeeded to fall into the right hands and his life had a sharp twist.
