He was born in a European circus in 2007. For most of his life he would have been confined to a "beast wagon" with hardly any room to move.
He would have undergone brutal and barbaric "training" and lived a miserable existence.
He was confiscated and temporarily placed in a wildlife refuge. In 2008 after a journey of almost 10,000 kilometers, he arrived at the sanctuary and for the first time he had freedom to roam outdoors.
He was lying in plain sight on his own in the long grass. I never saw him the last time as their enclosures are pretty large with many trees and shrubs.
