| Wanikiya has come a long way as a lion. There was a
time when he would jump at anyone who moved around him. He has since
calmed down a great deal--with the exception of feeding time. His
rumbling voice hits like a hotrod engine, and revs up and down depending on
his satisfaction with his meal. Outside of that, Niki spends his time
with Osota and Akicita, doing what lions do most--sleeping. That is not to
say that he doesn't have an affectionate side. When sated and in the
mood, Niki is one of the most loving lions. You can find him cuddled
up with one or both of his enclosure mates at some point during the day.
