james jablon thought of a creative way to raise money for the animal shelter he runs: he is spending the entire month of january living with his two african lions, lea and ed.
animals at florida's wildlife rehabilitation of hernando county have been either deserted by their families or hurt in the wild, making it difficult for them to survive on their own.jablon, his 13-year-old daughter chelsey, and a team of volunteers help the animals so that someday they can return to the wild.
jablon opened the shelter more than 11 years ago.when the shelter first opened, jablon focused mostly on species that are native to florida such as turtles, owls, and alligators(短吻鳄).but soon many foreign animals needed care too, including lemurs, tigers, a type of south american raccoon called a coatimundi(长鼻浣熊), and even an australian wallaby(沙袋鼠)named wally.
helping so many different animals costs a lot of money, and jablon thought this method would get people to donate to the shelter.
“i was looking for a way to raise funds to help the animals, and i am constantly struggling to look at what makes them happy,”jablon says,“so i thought living with them for a month would help both causes.”
living with lions is dangerous, but jablon feels safe because lea and ed are still very young, and they have known him for most of their lives.lea is 18 months old, and ed is only 10 months old.
the cubs(幼兽)love to play with each other and their funny human friend.“every time i bend over, their teeth tear my pants right off,”jablon says,“i've been through six pairs already.”
jablon has been sleeping on a pile of hay next to where the cubs sleep.he's built a nest in one of the trees, where he's safe from harm in case things get dangerous.but jablon is not that worried.
