MEET MR. LION...
Our human has taken Mr. Lion to many places in the world.
Mr. Lion and the human are fortunate to have traveled to Africa many, many times and have had the privilege of working with organizations dedicated to the preservation of endangered animals.
We would like to dedicate the little Mr.Lion video below to the memory of Cecil the lion who was killed by a dentist from Michigan on July 1st. Social media responded to the death of Cecil with thousands of people debating the punishment of the trophy hunter who killed the animal as well as sparking a debate as to the sport of hunting big game.

Our little video may seem silly in wake of this tragic event but at the time it was made it was a symbol of all animals freedom and the right to roam their natural habitats...The back drop for the video is Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania.
