A touching farewell between a lion and his rescuer after being close friends for over 20 years

Meet Jupiter, this huge Colombian lion who became well-known during the years of living at Refugio Villa Lorena.

Villa Lorena is a special sanctuary for wild creatures, where all those mistreated animals received human love and care.

Ana Julia Torres, this kindhearted woman, looks after all her non-human friends and gives them all the proper treatment.

There are lots of animals, including 4 lions, 9 tigers, a crocodile, grizzly bears, jaguars, an ostrich, multicolored birds, and several species of monkeys.

As the woman states all these animals have one thing in common: all of them have an unpleasant experience.

So, they have been rescued and received proper treatment here.

She adds, that she has two kids and more than 800 animal kids of all types and characteristics.

Though all of them are different they are unique and amazing for her.

However, for the woman, the Jupiter lion was still her favorite.

The lion had been in the circus for many years and was mistreated there until he managed to get out of there.

The poor creature was disappointed and even lost faith in human beings.

So, after being transported to the sanctuary, Ana took care of him, and he started to trust humans again.

Soon, the lion was sent to Monteria’s Los Caimans Zoo, where he felt good.

Unluckily, the famous lion here got sick and began to lose weight day by day.

It turned out he got liver cancer.

Unfortunately,  Ana could do nothing, because it was too late to act, and the famous creature passed away in 2020.
