Rescued lion kissed until it falls asleep in heartwarming video
How do you lull a restless orphaned lion to sleep? You smother it with kisses.
The accompanying footage shows Freya Aspinall of the Aspinall Foundation kissing an orphaned lion named ZIMI into a state of peaceful slumber.
ZIMI is a rescue project and the Aspinall Foundation’s goal with all rescued animals is to return as many of them as possible back into the African wilderness.
