Two lion cubs may be the first of many to be quarantined in Guernsey before heading off to a new life in Africa.
Sarnia and Marina, five-week-old sisters who born in captivity and dumped on a vet’s doorstep in Romania, are in the specialist quarantine unit at the GSPCA until they are cleared to make the journey to the Shamwari game reserve in South Africa.
The Born Free Foundation is coordinating the move with the help of local vet John Knight. GSPCA director Jayne Le Cras said the society’s quarantine area had gone relatively unused for the past three or four years.
