Lions Day is about raising awareness of the majestic hunter, the ultimate feline, the jungle king, the fluffy kitty of the Serengeti ... Hmm, we should have left it to 'king of the jungle'.

This celebration of the world's most beautiful and fearsome creature was founded by Big Cat Rescue, the world's largest accredited sanctuary dedicated to big cats. August 10 is a day when people around the world come together to pay tribute to the mighty lion in every possible way. Although this is a fun and exciting opportunity for all, its foundation is based on a very serious subject: the number of lions has dropped significantly to the point that the species must be listed as endangered, just like its big cousin, the tiger.

How you celebrate is entirely up to you. You can change your social media profile pictures into a lion for the day, draw a sketch and share it with friends, find out who has the loudest roar or even ask your colleagues to sponsor you to wear them. a lion combination at work then makes a donation to the current Big Cat Rescue mission.

At the very least, please like the official Facebook page and follow @BigCatRescue on Twitter, because the more we let it know, the greater the chances that these incredible animals will adorn our planet forever.
