Valentin Gruener is a dedicated wildlife enthusiast, and he has co-founded theModisa wildlife project.
We are striving for a sustainable, eco-friendly lifestyle that benefits wildlife and people alike.
Sirga has been living free (under supervision) in a reserve set up especially for her.
Exciting times for us all.
We run a small eco-tourism camp and research base.
Currently, we focus on establishing a large community outreach program as well.
Its that people tend to think I am keeping her as a pet.
Most people dont see that she is actually as free as she can be given her circumstances.
She can hunt her own food and meet wild lions.
I would never be where I am now without her.
We were also curious about Sirgas love life.
Valentin commented: Sirga meets other lions regularly but it usually ends up in fighting.
No lion or other wild animal should be kept captive for our own entertainment.
The only place they belong is free in their natural habitat.
That would really give Sirgas existence so much meaning, even long past her own lifetime.
