Ivan, a four-year-old lion, in private roadside zoo in Novi Pazar, Serbia. Three lions were acquired from Belgrade zoo by a private citizen in 2009, before the legislation came into force that prohibits possession of dangerous wild animals. Serbian wildlife authorities confiscated the animals and asked Four Paws Animal Welfare Foundation to transfer them to Africa. This week the three lions from Serbia were released alongside two tigers from Germany into Lionsrock big cat sanctuary in South Africa
