Bella, I apologize for the arrogance and ignorance of humankind, to have treated you so badly and caused you so much pain and agony for the rest of your life. I hope the rest of your lide is beautiful and peaceful. 😢
It.s horrible what you have suffered.. dear Bella.. you got to know the wrong people. I.m very ashamed..very ashamed. I. m so sorry... i only hope you have a happy life in your home with Simba...enjoy your life and freedom..dear baby.
It hurts me to see Bella injured and knowing evil humans did this to her. I hope Bella, and Simba, gets alone and be happy together! You are an amazing person Virginia, thank you for caring!
Simba was a true gentleman. Bella is one tough cookie to have survived all she has in her life. She is not going to risk being overpowered easily or hurt again. Simba's strength & power could have easily overcome Bella no matter how much hell she tried to give him. He was truly a gentle giant to her and allowed her feel in control of the situation. Simba's heart is kind and compassionate even after the horrendous treatment. Thank you Simba, for being just who Bella needed....
Simba is a real gentleman, not showing any agression towards Bella but instead walks back and wait for her to come down.the poor treatments that she had to go through in Romania, so maybe Simba felt it too and decided to be kind.
Simba is a gentle giant, he really doesn't want to fight with anybody - I think you have a good match - fiesty Bella and gentle Simba! I have had many domestic cats in my life and they have similar behaviours when being introduced to a new cat. This was really awesome to watch and I hope they have many years enjoying each others company! Seeing Bella's eye and limp is sad because it shows the terrible cruelty she endured, so glad they can now both enjoy freedom and hapiness!
Poor baby!! So sad to know she's all alone and disabled like that. Lions live in packs, as prideful as they are they still need a companion. They're both so beautiful and gracious. God bless these beauts!! And he is such a gent!! Love it
Humans have been for decades and continue to cause daily so much damage to nature and the animal world, it’s heartbreaking . Thank God there are courageous people who fight for animal welfare and preservation of resources Thank you to the Born Free Foundation for the work they do to improve the lives of these abused lions 👍
So happy about this reunion of two lonely lions of the past....may they live long and happier being together. Thanks for the handlers and responsible folk who made this reunion possible.
American Made looks like someone kicked her ass, Broke her back and punch 🤜🏻 her eye 👁 out.. she looks all messed up, he’s like I not gonna touch that, can I get a real girl in here...
Simba is such a magnificent animal, what a joy to see him in a natural environment, and meeting a spectacular female of the species, even tho so damaged by human interuption, she has a commanding personality. Just love the big cats.
She has a spine deformity & she has lost an eye, Lions do NOT like any animal to surprise them, with Bella she won't see a Lion on her blindside! That's why she was so vocal & seemed "fearless" so Simba won't "bully" her taking advantage of her disabilities! 2 beautiful cats & companionship! Wonderful! All the happiness to 'Bella' & 'Simba' you both deserve it more than most!!🦁🐯🐾🐾💖
Absolutely disgusting how Bella was treated before she got to this sanctuary. Poor gal. No wonder she’s got such an attitude. As for Simba he’s one cool very well behaved guy 💚🐾
I was holding my breath, and had to keep reminding myself to BREATHE! She wanted to show him she's not going to be kicked around anymore, and he's said, "Okay." :-)
Since they've never met another of their species, or opposite sexes, they do pretty good. Glad they are getting along. Everyone needs company. Thank you!
Bella don't play that.. she said don't even try to sniff my cookie. Simba said don't worry I'll grow on you. Moments later let me nibble on that ear.. lol
Beautiful! Lions are such social creatures. It's so very sad to see any lion in any type of solitary! Congrats for coming up with this idea and making it work! :)
It’s not about logic...it’s about dominance in wild....whenever they face each other in wild.... they meet face to face...they are lions...they can handle it.
Poor beautiful traumatized babies u people are incredible for the time & expense u go to for these majestic animals. Love and humbling praise to all of u
heart warming story! So Sad when People take these beautiful Animals out of their places. My heart was in my throat at their first meeting but my heart was so warmed how well their getting along. Truly touching story and thank you so much for sharing.
Wonderfully Done! God Bless you, everybody! I think Bella is very sensitive about being (pardon the pun) blindsided, that is, having a threat appear on the side of her bad eye. I find it highly ironic that the by far most dangerous species of all is standing outside the cages, watching the lions - that's us.
thank you born free for helping these magnificent creatures have a life again - and together with another is even more wonderful! my favorite animal on the entire planet. your work is very much appreciated and honorable - beyond words.
kevin dsn as fun as it can be to spread inflammatory false information, you really shouldn't. Both were put down due to health issues. www.lilongwewildlife.org/2017/11/02/sad-farewell-bella-simba/
How wonderful! Thank you Born Free Foundation for giving some dignity & peace to these beautiful cats. We take in rescued cats & very often they take time to befriend, but once they do it is magnificent.
Hi from New Zealand, thankyou for such an amazing beautiful video I am in tears.. such majestic animals.. I hope Simba & Bella become the best of friends & stay together for the rest of their natural lives.. thankyou for everything you do for these magnificent beats
Man, Bella gave him the paws. I'm glad that they are getting along better. You can't blame Bella for her behavior. She's had a much crueler and abusive past. She's got disabilities and that makes her feel uncomfortable. I'm glad that Simba is so laid back that he allows it and doesn't try to hurt her. Isn't Simba a rare type of lion? I read someplace that having such a large mane and it goes under his belly is unusual. Isn't Simba a Barbary Lion? If so, then they have a very special and rare lion. They are extinct in the wild. Simba is a beauty. Poor baby Bell, I hope her life gets so much better for her. And whoever hurt her is in jail or at least beat up.
Rest in peace you both. There will be some keeping you in heart. I will and I hope you find more "life" in your next life. My love for Simba and Bella!
You can see the love in them! Bella lost her eye bc she had Glucoma :( She was neglected. The other eye was saved thank God! Her spine is in bad shape. Poor baby! Im so happy they are safe loved and have eachother! Bless their lion hearts!
The task is made more difficult because of her loss of sight...she feels more vulnerable on the side where she can't see. At Big Cat Rescue in Florida, two tigers were introduced, one with a loss of vision in one eye, very much like Bella. It took a while for the tigers to adjust to eachother, for the partially blind one to not feel threatened when the other came up on the blind side. Over time, they became great companions. I hope these two lions have the same success!
Just watched simba being greeted like a king, awesomeness!!! Now a queen for the king! Hats off to you lady, and Land Rover and Kenya airlines the universe will pay you back for your wonderful help!!!!
Simba is a nice lion
Lotus white Tok simba is swahili word language. it means a lion from east africa tanzania and kenya
He's a gentleman.
A gentlemen
Lotus The lion is a natural predator with millions of years of evolution to be free and hunters not big nice pussy cats.
Poor Bella, it breaks my heart seeing her in that condition. But at least she has a mate now.
Filme chaparral
Bonassa
Chris Kavanagh part 3 they get a divorce...
Simba looks very calm,gentle and majestic in spite of provocations by Bella...
Bella, I apologize for the arrogance and ignorance of humankind, to have treated you so badly and caused you so much pain and agony for the rest of your life. I hope the rest of your lide is beautiful and peaceful. 😢

It.s horrible what you have suffered.. dear Bella.. you got to know the wrong people. I.m very ashamed..very ashamed. I. m so sorry... i only hope you have a happy life in your home with Simba...enjoy your life and freedom..dear baby.
Do u expect bella to read ur youtube comment? Lmao
That lion roar is scary as hell
You should said lioness.
where is nala
Some random guy what part of Africa are you from?
Bless simba. True gentleman! Doesnt hit back :)
It hurts me to see Bella injured and knowing evil humans did this to her. I hope Bella, and Simba, gets alone and be happy together! You are an amazing person Virginia, thank you for caring!
Thank you for the kind words Carol.
He was so kind he understands that she has been hurt..🤗
I like how simba can easily kill her because of all the advantages he has but he's sweet enough to just walk away. 💯
That poor female lion has been through hell. Glad to see her get rescued.

Poor Simba.. he’s so tolerant of her. Glad she’s coming around
I love how simba was patient with her, he looked a little bit scared but that was cute
He’s so calm...he just has no desire to fight her...the stress is easy to see with Bella but simba seems to just want some peace to enjoy his home...
Simba is a gentle giant, he really doesn't want to fight with anybody - I think you have a good match - fiesty Bella and gentle Simba!

I want a kind partner like Simba....I promise I won't attack him....🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Hi...
Ignez Maciel Hahahaha. Good luck. I’m sure they exit
That's what you all say, but you always do
😂
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
So happy about this reunion of two lonely lions of the past....may they live long and happier being together. Thanks for the handlers and responsible folk who made this reunion possible.
he is so nice, love hurts.
They're both so beautiful. Lions are my favorite wild animal. They're super cute and scary at the same time.
Simba is a ideal male for females.
I am sure that all women (human) want to have partner like Simba. He's gentle and calm.
Happy for Simba and Bella.
Born free!
Thank you rescuers and teams.
Bella is badass...tough girl!
Crippled ass u mean?
Why
Yup! and simba is a gentle man who respects woman, or he could have easily kicked her ass
American Made looks like someone kicked her ass, Broke her back and punch 🤜🏻 her eye 👁 out.. she looks all messed up, he’s like I not gonna touch that, can I get a real girl in here...
That poor lion is a broken spirit...I’m glad they finally got along, they need each other!
I'm so happy they worked out and have each other for company.
Bastards will pay for what they did to Bella, they will get their comeuppance, God will make sure of that
Simba is such a magnificent animal, what a joy to see him in a natural environment, and meeting a spectacular female of the species, even tho so damaged by human interuption, she has a commanding personality. Just love the big cats.
I love how she keeps shouting at him and he just backs off 🤣
Really intense, but it's worth it! Thank you, everyone involved! 💕
Simba is a great teacher. When shes pitching a fit dance out of strike range let her drain herself and go on about your day being a boss.

Bella was so lucky...Simba is gorgeous looking Lion😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
Poor Bella and Simba !. Thanks and Blessings to All Animal rescuers.
This video just made my world a better place
SImba is so kind, being so tolerable to her.
Simba is such a beautiful boy! Leave it to the girl to be the one to start trouble! Lol they are beautiful
Absolutely disgusting how Bella was treated before she got to this sanctuary. Poor gal. No wonder she’s got such an attitude. As for Simba he’s one cool very well behaved guy 💚🐾
SIMBA the King of silent...
It's perfectly natural what she is doing it's Bella being the one in charge especially being older and in captivity
hes like damn girl! chill out! lol
Thank you for what you do to give them a good life and a friend:)
I was holding my breath, and had to keep reminding myself to BREATHE!
She wanted to show him she's not going to be kicked around anymore, and he's said, "Okay." :-)
She is still a lovely lioness
wow bella is a fighter! haha
Yes, definitely! A fighter and a survivor. Can't blame her. She's so defensive.
Bella is a Lion that behaves like a Lion you female liberals really have issues
"she's not a fighter" LOL Sam proving once again that he doesn't understand how lions work. Or nature in general, for that matter.
Since they've never met another of their species, or opposite sexes, they do pretty good. Glad they are getting along. Everyone needs company. Thank you!
Bella don't play that.. she said don't even try to sniff my cookie. Simba said don't worry I'll grow on you. Moments later let me nibble on that ear.. lol
Simba is so chill and Bella is a typical female ! She doesn’t take shit haha so adorable
Feisty little woman 😂 she went to his room to start a fight 😂
Love brings happiness. Wish their happy African life.
Bless you for what you do for these incredible lions.
omg poor bella! her poor eye, however she is till beautiful
Beautiful! Lions are such social creatures. It's so very sad to see any lion in any type of solitary! Congrats for coming up with this idea and making it work! :)
Bella is a fighter I’m happy she has a friend now so she and he isn’t alone anymore ❤️
Couldnt they have put them in side by side enclosures for a few days to get to know the smell and such of each other. Seems logical.
my thought as well
Lelu Kat a
Lelu Kat I agree
It’s not about logic...it’s about dominance in wild....whenever they face each other in wild.... they meet face to face...they are lions...they can handle it.
Lelu Kat I would have been better if they did that cause they would pass the roaring stage a long time ago
Excellent. Great people always do Great things.
Hearty congrats and thanks to all the loving people who worked for this program. May God bless you all
Awe I'm so happy for both big cats...they deserve to have a happy life together ❤❤❤🙏
Poor beautiful traumatized babies u people are incredible for the time & expense u go to for these majestic animals. Love and humbling praise to all of u
heart warming story! So Sad when People take these beautiful Animals out of their places. My heart was in my throat at their first meeting but my heart was so warmed how well their getting along. Truly touching story and thank you so much for sharing.
She is a Queen!
mitraism1 and samba will be a king!
More like psychotic bitch
mitraism1 Yeah, but rude queen. Lol
mitraism1 Typical feminist comment. If he had maimed her you wouldn't be saying that. You'd call him a brutal beast, and instead of a "king".

Simba's so tame that he's become so tolerant of Bella's aggressive behavior. How are they doing now? Any follow up video.
what really??
Did she actually kill him?
kevin dsn how do you know?
kevin dsn as fun as it can be to spread inflammatory false information, you really shouldn't.
Both were put down due to health issues.
www.lilongwewildlife.org/2017/11/02/sad-farewell-bella-simba/
They both died in 2017 of health issues..but were in love all those years.
they are both so cute!!i d never had the nerves for this!
He’s so calm
How wonderful! Thank you Born Free Foundation for giving some dignity & peace to these beautiful cats. We take in rescued cats & very often they take time to befriend, but once they do it is magnificent.
Bella ain’t having no bs lol I want them to love each other! ❤️❤️🦁🦁
That lion gave time to the lioness to adjust to the situation and build trust. Lions are such social animals :-)
simba is so handsome! precious bella is a tough gal.
Hi from New Zealand, thankyou for such an amazing beautiful video I am in tears.. such majestic animals.. I hope Simba & Bella become the best of friends & stay together for the rest of their natural lives.. thankyou for everything you do for these magnificent beats

Thank God for people who help protect these wonderful animals
Beautiful love story
I have donated to the Born Free Foundation. I watched the movie when I was a child and have loved lions ever since then.
These two eventually formed a bond as of 2017, so they’re together doing fine.
Rest in peace you both. There will be some keeping you in heart. I will and I hope you find more "life" in your next life.
My love for Simba and Bella!
You can see the love in them! Bella lost her eye bc she had Glucoma :( She was neglected. The other eye was saved thank God! Her spine is in bad shape. Poor baby! Im so happy they are safe loved and have eachother! Bless their lion hearts!
Love a happy ending like this 😍
Thank God good people exist 😪😍
Simba "I didn't sign up for this shit."
Bella "I got my eye on you."
Love both of them.. good luck to both of them.
That's a really handsome boy
Bella mean as hell
Simba was like, "shit shit shit... u win lady!"
good for them every one loves a happy ending sooo nice.
That's me when my girlfriend is mad at me for no reason at all 😂😂
WONDERFUL JUST BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!
though without one eye she looks
stil beautiful feminine)
Doka Saku
Omg poor girl 😫😫😫😫 it's so heart breaking to see any big cats mistreated ... and end up with deformations
Oh I hope that they get along and god bless all of you for the work you do

I hope these two lions have the same success!
Te veo en todos los videos de animales.
Was thinking that, too. Since she's so much weaker than him, she had to be the most threatening before he could threat her!
i observed the same. More aggression to compensate for the blind eye.
Katherin bich
you ugly
This was beautiful. Tks 😀😀😀
prettty cute...nice people, I must say.
A i am the only one who was waiting for a happy end simba n Bella mat up n they have cubs !
Just watched simba being greeted like a king, awesomeness!!! Now a queen for the king! Hats off to you lady, and Land Rover and Kenya airlines the universe will pay you back for your wonderful help!!!!
GRACIAS POR GENTE COMO VOSOTROS
God bless all you for being their savior.
So lovely
