While lions aren’t exactly known for their affectionate nature, this one has a whole lot of love to give.
It turns out that Jupiter was rescued six years ago, by Ana Julia Torres, who runs the Villa Lorena animal shelter in Columbia. She fed and nursed the African lion back to health after she found him abused and emaciated in a traveling circus.
Such is the bond between the giant cat and its keeper, that Jupiter can’t help but give her daily cuddles.
And we’re talking giant cuddles here….
So cute!
