Local cat colony adopts lion. A young wild lion, believed to have been abandoned by its pride months ago, has taken up an unlikely new family. Locals say a colony of feral cats living near the village accepted the lion when it was still a cub, and over time the bond only grew stronger.
Now, if you pass through Kariega in the early mornings, you’ll often see the full grown lion perched proudly on a rocky ledge surrounded by dozens of cats grooming, lounging, and stretching in the sun as if he were one of them.
So far, officials report that the unusual arrangement has caused no safety concerns. The lion keeps to the cats and avoids people, and conservation officers are quietly monitoring the situation.
