Who are your roommates? Your family members? Your friends? Your classmates? Or someone you even don’t know? Ben Britton has three special roommates .

Mr Britton is the director of Wild Animal Encounters in Western Sydney. He is the mother of three lions. He started looking after them from the day they were born. The three lions are six weeks now, and they sleep over 20 hours a day. Their weight grows by one kilogram a week. Mr Britton says his roommates will weight up to 40 kilograms each by the end of the year. And later, he will take the lions to the wild.

“Animal has so much work to do in the wild, such as food, shelter, predator, prey and so on. It is not good for them to stay with human for long. So, we are trying to train them and help them be back to the wild”, Mr Britton said
