      As it should be. His spirit isn't broken, it's bruised. It's why they teach him to be a normal lion. He was sedated from the trip is why he's unsteady.

    Even though animals don't make the same expressions as humans, it's still easy to see the emotions in their eyes and body language. When the people crowded him at the airport you could tell he was nervous and confused; and when he saw the new enclosure, he had this look of happiness, and excitement. You could tell how much he wanted to investigate it as he stood at the door. Animals don't have to speak to tell us how they feel. Thank you guys for giving him this new home!

    He's just transferred to another cage, i thought simba will be taken into the wild like in the africa,there he can hunt, he can roar with pride,he can run, he can mingle with the other lions and animals there... But still happy he's doing great and i felt lil bit sad that i cant find a pride spirit from him because i know animals had a feeling like humans and i know that simba knew he's not totally free.... I salute those people who did everything for simba.... To put simba in a better place....
