It's too hot
My secretary was very busy, hence she didn't manage to translate all the entries from my German journal. But now she's working at it - and here comes the entry we've done at June 30, 2010 as we were in Gronau.
Who the heck came up with the idea that lions like the heat? Yes, we originated in Africa, but as far as I'm concerned, that certainly ( Read more... ) -
Thou shall not have other lions besides me
Some days, the only thing that keeps me from shaking my head in dismay is the thought of wasting my precious energy. Last Tuesday was such a day ( Read more... ) -
My new, favourite word
Why is it that my human thinks I'm asleep when I just happen to be lying down with my eyes closed? I'm a lion! I require at least 14 hours beauty sleep every day. Nevertheless, despite this hectic schedule of resting, I still find time to squeeze in my shows, a bit of training and important matters such as a full claw manicure, mane grooming and ( Read more... ) -

Me and my human
I do love work. I could watch people working for hours. But when I'm looking at my human - I can't help it, I think he's doing something wrong. He never has time for lying in the sun, nibbling at his claws and thinking about life. Instead he's always running around doing chores. For example, carting tons of food to my mates and me. Admittedly I ( Read more... ) -
About white lions in general and me especially
The other day as I lay sunbathing on my favourite place in the enclosure, I overheard the conversation of a couple which had come to see me. Only instead of admiring me they were arguing; she was accusing him. "You are always talking about yourself ( Read more... )
