What would you say if your neighbors instead of Labrador or Persian cat ... brought African lion? Neighbors of the two brothers Hussein from Pakistan is not against such an exotic pet - they even come to visit them, to be photographed with a predator and pat it with their hands. About what it is - to live with a lion in the same house in this article.

Historically, the lion lion habitat was quite extensive - it encompassed almost the whole of Africa (except most deserted places), the whole of India, the Middle East, Iran, and was even on the southern part of present-day Russia. Now this area has decreased by more than 90 per cent - or lions now live in zoos or in nurseries and in the wild they can be seen only in a few places south of the Sahara, and in a tiny isolated spot in the woods Girskom India.

Habitat lions.

It is because the Lions are no longer living in the wild in Pakistan, as before, the government of that country to allow all those who have enough money and the conditions to import these animals for private farms. Therefore, wealthy people - actors, TV presenters, oil tycoon - often bring wild animals from Africa to his Pakistan and equip their home mini-farm. Such animals are more likely to live in good conditions, surrounded by care, but to a wild animal lived in the house with people .... that is exactly rarely see even in Pakistan.

How to tell the brothers and Hamza Hassan Hussein, Simba was born on their farm, and be there, and grew up with her mother, but she somehow two weeks refused to feed him. Maybe she was over the milk, perhaps the reason was different, but the brothers became apparent that without the immediate help of the little cub will die. So they took him to his home and began to nurse his hand. That's the lion moved into their house.

Now Simba for over two years, but he still lives with his brothers. He eats with them in the kitchen, goes with them in the car and play with them in the yard. "We made him as a brother - says Hassan. - I called him Simba, and now it is very tame lion. He was 26 months old, but he's like my baby, so I'm not afraid of him. You see, I put my hands in his mouth, I can hug him, stroking him, and he likes it. "

Hamza said that the lion relates well to all, who knows. And if in the house there is someone new, the main stand and not move until the lion had not sniff a person and do not take him for her. "But if they run or start screaming, then Simba can bite," - says Hamza.

containing such a large animal - this is, of course, expensive. "I give Simba best meat there is. Every day he eats five kilograms of beef. Sometimes I give him as goat meat. But the chicken, he did not like, he does not eat. " However, speaking about good meat, Hassan is not disingenuous - the two brothers own a great restaurant in Karachi, so that access to the best meat they really are.

Now, we are told the brothers, they want to find a couple of Simba. First, they plan to look for a lioness in Pakistan, and if not found, then it will import from South Africa, one from private zoos.
