More precisely, trying to play. It would be too foolish to let the baby in the cage of the king of beasts.
“Our little Lion” – this is how his parents fondly call the baby Arie. And this is not a nickname, but a name: Arie, translated from Hebrew, means the king of beasts. No wonder he has a little lion cub costume in his wardrobe. And when godmother Arie and her friend decided to take their baby to the Atlanta zoo, they took this costume with them.
“The day was cool and the suit was warm,” said Kami Flamming. “And his mom packed a suit to dress Arya in case he gets cold.”
According to Kami, when they arrived at the zoo, the lions had not yet left the enclosures. The family went around almost all the animals and at the end returned to their cage.
“I saw the lions come out and decided to dress Arye in a suit to photograph him in front of them,” Kami explained.
The woman was counting on a good shot, but did not at all expect what would happen after. At first, the lions watched the baby from afar. Then they came closer. Arye calmly examined the large animals through the thick glass and tried to touch the “kitty”. And they seem to have taken him for their own! The lion even tried to stroke him with his paw. At some point, Arye’s tiny palm and a giant lion’s paw simultaneously pressed against the glass on both sides.
“Look, Arie, he is just like you, only big,” – Kami’s voice is heard off-screen.
The woman is sure: this will be the best memory of the first walk together with her godson.
“We took a few pictures and left quickly so the animals wouldn’t get overexcited,” the godmother explains. “But it was incredible.”
