The next morning I stand up at 7:15 with out an alarm clock, because I do not have it. Forgot to bring it with me :-). Good sign.
Before breakfast I introduces to everybody of the volenteers. And one of them Chantal (dutch) girl told me a lot of information what to do on this farm. Because it is my first day I did not have to do a lot of thing. BUT.....because I will be the only one that is staying a long time. And all the others are going within 2 days. I will be scheduled in the new group. And beacause of that, they teached me everything what to do. So here are my lists what I already did today:

1. Making medicines for the small-middle cubs. That was not easy. The cubs needs to be feeded every 2 hours with a bottle, such a your feed a baby. And there are 8 cubs. Before you feeding them you have to smimulate them and write it down what they did. Or pied or poe. And after they drinking the bottle with milk you have to write down how much they drink. So that was already an amazing experience. I hugs them so much....

2. Then we went to the fridge where the frozen chicken are and feed this to the lions. But there are a size bigger. The smell was not so bad, but when is it a sunny day and shining you can amagine how is it going to smell. :-(

3.Then riding with a ranger to see all the other lions. OMG it is so amazing. So many lions and 1 cheetah.  And a very special one named REX the real African Lion. They have only one of this kind.
It was feeding time too  so I had to carrried and transfer a dead horse/donkey. That was really heavy to do. But that is also my job to do.

4. It was also a feeding time for the female lions. And we fed them with a big big big cow. . Trust me this kind of cow I have never seen before. If the cow did not being slaugther than the cow will be dying of overweight, I know that for sure. And the funiest is. The lion grabs it if it was just a little donkey. So the 4th things to do was done.

And that for only one day. So everybodyt gives me more and more information. Because later one I have to telll the other volenteers what they have to do. :-)

After this duty we went back to the cubs and I fed Leila. Yes, they named her Leila. how sweet of course.

One of the cub already bite me and a little bit of scratches me. What ever, that is all in the game.

After the dinner that was about 18:00 we went to the bar. I had a smirsnoff vodka and after that... went to bed. Because I was very verymuch tired.

Cheers...
