Not World Lyin’ Day! Just saying … Roar!

This day is held annually on August 10. It has been celebrated since 2013 by Rae Kokeš and David Youldon from the African Lion & Environmental Research Trust (ALERT).

Maybe take the family and go to the zoo and see some Lions, the King of the Jungle.

“I was not the lion, but it fell upon me to give the lion’s roar”

Winston Churchill, politician, 1874-1965

World Lion Day was created to act as an awareness-building vehicle. The campaign aims to highlight the plight of African and Asiatic lion whilst also demonstrating our shared global heritage of the species. The lion plays a significant role biologically, culturally, symbolically, economically and more. It is hoped that the recognition of the species’ worldwide importance will result in more active conservation worldwide also.₁

Did you know there are lions in the Bible? One example is Daniel and the Lion’s Den. Check out Daniel 6.

Lost Kitties Review

Lost Kitties Review – This is our take on the toy. Lost Kitties is a toy that comes with a tiny cat figurine, 2 accessories and compound putty. #LostKitties

Both Joel the Brave and myself, got a package, at least that is what our hoomans are telling us, even though they put the figurines up with our momma hooman’s Disney’s Doorables.

See some of the pictures below of our Lost Kitties. The ones they unboxed were from Series 2. Series 3 is now out with Mice.

I got Memez and brother (Joel the Brave) got Niles.

The carton looks much like a milk carton. We really liked the figure that came with it. There was one thing that we didn’t like ….
