If you would like to receive multiple adoptions for multiple recipients please place separate orders for each adoption. This will not affect your overall cost as shipping and handling are set for each adoption.
Lion (Panthera leo)
Age: Estimated 5-7 years old
Country: Botswana
Auntie Botlhe is a young lioness who manages to care for the only surviving members of her pride, two small cubs.
Farmers in Kasane (northern Botswana) feared that a local pride of lions would prey on their livestock. The farmers and their families rely on the livestock for their survival, so they took a drastic step: they spread poison on the carcass of a wild buffalo the pride had killed. Tragically, three adult females and one adult male died, leaving behind three orphaned cubs and a sub-adult female. The surviving female adopted the cubs, and is trying to rear them herself. One cub wandered off and is presumed dead. The other two – Loli (a male) and Titi (a female) – are staying near their “Auntie Botlhe.”
More information on Auntie Botlhe is included in the Factsheet, which will be delivered along with a plush lion and a personal adoption certificate (suitable for framing) to you or the person of your choice. Your adoption also includes an annual African Wildlife Foundation membership and one-year subscription to our quarterly “African Wildlife News.”

Canadian and Mexico addresses will be charged a flat rate of $18.95 shipping and handling per adoption. Overseas shipping addresses will be charged a flat rate of $24.95 per adoption. |
