Animals know how to be grateful. They never forget kindness, they remember all their lives those who took care of them, who helped, who treated them, who fed them…

No matter how much time passes, the animal recognizes the savior. They remember love, kindness, compassion.

Everyone knows about the gratitude of dogs, about the ability to remember goodness, but this is not unique to them. A chimpanzee, a gorilla, a bear, a lion… or 2 lions can be grateful.

The British newspaper Daily Mirror told an amazing story about a woman who saved 2 little orphaned lion cubs 7 years ago.

She fed them, raised them and loved them, but the predators grew and the woman could not provide them with conditions for a good life. Then she handed over the babies to the Swiss zoo.

Later, two adult predators were taken to a specialized lion park in Slovakia. There they live freely in a large area next to their brothers.

It was in this park that a touching meeting took place. This is the woman’s first meeting with her wards after a long separation.

She was very worried and did not know whether the two adult predators would remember her. She watched in awe as the wild cats approached the fence and then…

A moment later, the lions recognized their named mother and rushed to her! How they hugged her! This is Love! This is gratitude!
