Lioness rescued from Ukraine war steps on grass for first time

A lioness named Yuna has stepped on grass for the first time after being rescued from the war in Ukraine. A video of the moment, shared on TikTok, shows her cautiously exploring the grass, marking a significant milestone in her recovery. Yuna was previously confined to a small space and suffered from shellshock due to nearby explosions. She was rescued by Wild Animal Rescue in Kyiv and later evacuated to The Big Cat Sanctuary in the UK, where she has begun to adapt to her new environment. The sanctuary plans to rescue three more lionesses from Ukraine as part of their ongoing efforts. Yuna's journey highlights the challenges faced by exotic pets during the conflict and the work being done to help them.
