" RIP KING SHANE?
2003-2020 It is with tremendous sadness we have to tell you all that our precious King Shane has very sadly passed away. As you all know, he was an elderly gentleman at 17yrs old and has recently been suffering the effects of old age, arthritis and weight loss even though he was eating well. He has been on medication for months to try ease his condition. In this last week he had deteriorated further and was having difficulty walking. We made a decision to get our vet to come and check him over in case there was anything else we could do to help him. Whilst Shane was sedated our vet gave him a physical examination & advised the kindest thing we could do for him would be to euthanise him so that he doesn’t suffer or have pain. We were with him at the very end on Monday and that evening GG was deathly quiet without one roar to be heard. The other lions all just knew. ? Alex & Tonga are very clearly missing his presence. We are all beyond devastated to have to say goodbye to the most lovely & special lion Shaney. We are forever grateful for being able to have been a part of his life, and we have laid him to rest in a special place with the dignity and respect Shane & all lions deserve. We will all miss you every day & never forget you Shane, you taught us all so much. Heartbroken doesn’t even come close ??? The next few days will be dedicated to the life and adventures of our vehicle loving King. " " (For everyone who has loved and lost a precious animal ?) If it should be.. that I grow frail and weak And pain should keep me from my sleep Then you must do what must be done For this last battle can’t be won You will be sad I understand Don’t let your grief then stay your hand For this day more than all the rest Your love and friendship stands the test We’ve had so many happy years What is to come must hold no fears Would you want me to suffer so? When the time comes please let me go Take me where my needs they’ll tend Only stay with me to the end And hold me firm and speak to me Until my eyes no longer see I know in time that you will see It is a kindness that you do to me Although my tail it’s last has waved From pain and suffering I have been saved Do not grieve it should be you Who must decide this thing to do We’ve been so close, we two these years Don’t let your heart hold any tears. "

It would be cool to see jaguars interaction with other large cats in captivity since there are very little. Michael Jamison channel with Enzo and Diego.
