@sirgathelioness - Val Gruener & Sirga Profile

Sirga was born in a facility for so called problem animals. Her parents were wild lions captured on cattle ranches. In the facility they would wait to be released again. Sirgas mother could not move away from the rest of the pride in the facility to nurse her newborn cubs - so she neglected them. Sirga was the only survivor. She’s now 12 years old and in her prime. Finding a wild home for Sirga and being her family is the biggest responsibility I have ever had - and the biggest adventure.

Trust always goes both ways 🐾👣

Well, it turned out pretty cool 😳 thanks @fbngsk for the shots 📸 #voguechallenge #vogue #voguecover

Lots of you asked if Sirga knows how to hunt. The answer is: yes! we sit for hours watching antelope and creeping closer. This time: no luck.

While the world goes crazy, we feel quite safe living in one of Africas most remote corners. Stay healthy everyone 🐾👣 #botswana #wildlife #lion

Raising Sirga is the biggest responsibility I have ever taken in my life. Over the years we have worked relentlessly for her freedom 🐾👣 #wildlife

At the moment we explore Sirgas 2000ha reserve on a weekly basis. Once we have a satellite collar for her she will move permanently! #animalsoftiktok
