Malik (12) lives alone in Tierpark Chemnitz. His partner, lioness Kimba, died last February 2016. Malik is in poor condition, looks very thin and depressed, a lion unworthy. Lions are the worlds only truely social felines.We ask the zoo in Chemnitz to give him a chance to spend his last years with a new companion.

Perhaps a new lioness could be obtained from one of South Africa's captive lion breeders - saving two lions - one from lonliness and the other from death at the hands of a canned lion hunt. 

An animal losing a companion is a big deal. Now, Malik is all alone and getting old. Visitors have reported that he looks thin and unhappy. A life alone is no life for an aging wild animal. A spayed female companion would be the perfect thing for a comfortable old age pensioner like Malik.
