00:00Hello my gorgeous.
00:03Alright, good morning everyone. So today I'm going to be taking Eko and Naobi out for a walk.
00:09In three, two, one, let's go!
00:20A little catch up with Naobi and Eko, both doing extremely well. I mean,
00:24for old ladies, sure, I think they're 19 now, could be coming on 20.
00:49Naobi in all her glory.
00:54Naobi is so recognizable by the lack of one eye. She had, for those of you who don't know,
01:04severe glaucoma and unfortunately her left eye had to be removed.
01:11And then just to recap on what an amazing story it was, because when she had the glaucoma on the
01:17left eye, she actually had a bad cataract on the right eye. And for a period of time,
01:23poor old Naobi was actually completely blind and she used to rely heavily on Siam and
01:31on Eko for her navigation. And she used to actually do that very well, which just shows
01:38that lion prides, you know, really, well, it really helps to live in a pride structure.
01:44You know, if you were a solitary animal, if you were a leopard, for example, you would have a hard
01:52time surviving with being blind because how would you hunt? Whereas a lioness, if she can navigate
02:00with the pride, she can live off the pride for a while. Miracles do happen. So once the surgery was
02:10done on the left eye, the left eye was removed, I started to notice that Naobi started to see
02:17certain movements where she hadn't responded before. She was starting to actually respond to my movements.
02:24And then I realized that the cataract was actually resorbing and that was a miracle on its own.
02:32So the cataract resorbed, she regained full vision in her right eye and she could see again.
02:39So she was a happy cat, but as she's got older guys, now it's just a vision thing.
02:46So old age vision. So yeah, eyes have never been Naobi's strong point, but she makes up for it in
02:57so
02:57many other ways because this must be one of the most fun, outgoing lions I've ever met.
03:04She, even at this ripe old age, she is always keen to play a prank on you.
03:13She will be hiding behind a bush or she will charge up at you and then do this funny little
03:19dance.
03:19She did it this morning. She scratches the ground and she, you know, she plays like this,
03:24this stalking game. It's really, really cute. But yeah, what a wonderful, wonderful animal. Her sister,
03:31Echo, is the more serious of the two. Yeah, what do you say? Is Echo the most serious of the
03:39two?
03:39Yeah, definitely. Yeah, the characters in these lions is incredible.
03:46Are you calling for your sister? She's asking where, where is my sister?
03:52Where are you moaning, moaning, moaning? Well, you'd know better than I would.
03:57Looking at things, I can see my, my face in the camera.
04:02And I noticed my lion print top. And actually, let me just move my glasses so you can see it
04:10properly.
04:13Actually, this hoodie is a firm favorite of, of you guys. And actually, somebody was asking me
04:21where they can buy it. They liked, they saw it in another video, in a previous video,
04:26and they asked me on my Instagram where they can get it. And so yeah, guys, if you're interested,
04:30this is part of my merch range. It's a company I work with called T-Mill. Very
04:38key to their mantra is sustainability, circular economy. Go and check it out. I'm not going to
04:45waffle on about it, but they're a really good company made to order. So there's no wastage.
04:49We don't have landfill due to unwanted textiles. And I particularly love this lion,
04:59lion, lion print. And there's also a lioness, which is also a firm favorite in a hoodie,
05:05in a tee, whatever. So go and check it out. T-Mill. We'll leave the link below.
05:15Oh, hyena had to do that. A little giggle gets her going.
05:23Part of their fun, guys, is just
05:27getting up close with the hyenas and then teasing them. And then they move off. They'll go and say,
05:33how's it to the lions? And that's kind of like a walk goes, you know, they go to all the
05:40middle area, the dam, the river, beautiful section. They get that out their system,
05:46then they come cause trouble.
05:50You can just see with Niobe the way she's starting to walk flat-footed.
05:55And that's typically what happens with the older lions. They start to lose
06:03the tendon integrity. You can see there those feet go flat.
06:09All right, guys. So while Niobe and I are waiting for Echo to catch up,
06:18I'd just like to take this opportunity to say a massive thank you to all the members and Pride
06:23leaders out there. Pride leaders being the next tier of members. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
06:29It's truly because of you guys that we can continue to bring the free content to the core channel.
06:36But so your core core channel subscribers must say a word of thanks to the to the members
06:43and Pride leaders. And if you want to go and check it out, we'll leave the link below. But
06:47yeah, membership is not just about supporting me and the channel and my work. They also get
06:55privileges, special little emojis and wonderful exclusive members-only content,
07:01which includes behind the scenes videos. So you get to see things that other people don't normally
07:05get to see. And you also get a line of a direct line of communication because obviously when when
07:12my team sees the poor, they're obviously going to try and reach out to those people or respond to those
07:19comments. All right, where is your sister? Very lazy today, hey? Very, very lazy.
07:40Hello, my gorgeous.
08:03Hi, my gorgeous.
08:27You girls are very well behaved today. I'm very proud of you.
08:30Girls are super well behaved today. Super proud of both of them.
08:35And yeah, they'll definitely go walking again if they behave like that.
08:41What a pleasure.
08:44When the lions just walk well and do everything like what you expect.
08:53Even at that age, I'm super impressed.
08:58Just such a chilled mood today. Everyone's in a chilled mood and everything goes so well.
09:05Awesome.
09:24And I'll see you next time.
09:26Bye.
09:31Bye.
09:35Bye.
09:37Bye.
