10MB submitted by Wayne Reid: film was taken in WSFP Sept 1977
Wayne lived at that time with his young family in the bottom floor of the two-storey house adjacent to the dolphinarium
Lady - the lion cub - was around two months old. She was the third cub Wayne hand reared. The courtyard filmed was outside their front door. They lived with the sounds of Ramu breathing, the dolphins calling and playing, the chimps arguing and other X-rated stuff.
Sean their son was 6mths old when they arrived in UK. His first recognisable word was Concorde. They were test flying at that time. This involved opening the engines to the point that everything in the house rattled when it went overhead.
Sean treated the lions as any kid treats a pet. Even though the cubs had the tendancy to be a little rough at times, he gave as good as he got!
