Indeed. I have my own pets in my life for that very reason.

For the first 6 months of the invasion I ran a live camera stream showing several live cameras from around Ukraine. But one of our cameras was an "emotional support camera" showing only animals. We added it after about a month of people coming into chat kind of anxious and worried about the war. We found that showing live animal cameras of puppies or pandas, or other animals helped with that a little. Plus it provided those watching some entertainment when there wasn't much happening on the Ukraine cams.

Here are a couple of gifs I made from our live panda cam, screen shot, and test stream.

We're not up and running anymore but I miss it quite a bit.

Seeing the little guy tumble down the ledge & casually shake it off & lay back to take up some bamboo to chew certainly brought a grin to my face ! I better be careful though as I'm showing my soft side

"Pictures Of The Day! The Ukrainian Lions are settled in and enjoying their new beautiful natural habitat and ultimate freedom. We want to thank everyone for all of the support and kind words during this new transition."

Nine lions that were rescued from Ukraine have arrived safely at their new home in Colorado.

The big cats were “urgently relocated” from Bio Park Zoo in Odessa, Ukraine, when the Russian invasion first began, according to a news release from The Wild Animal Sanctuary.

A convoy transported the lions from Odessa across Moldova to Romania; their journey stretched for over 600 miles, says the sanctuary. They arrived at the Targu Mures Zoo in Romania’s Transylvania region on May 24.

The lions spent months at the zoo waiting for an emergency travel permit so they could board a rescue flight, according to the sanctuary. They finally arrived in their final homes on September 29.

Seven adult lions and two cubs from the rescued pride are now being cared for by The Wild Animal Sanctuary, a nonprofit based in Keenesburg, Colorado. The lions will live at an extension of the sanctuary called The Wild Animal Refuge, which consists of almost 10,000 acres of land near Springfield, Colorado. The facility is not open to the public, according to the sanctuary’s website.

Another two lions were sent to the Simbonga Game Reserve and Sanctuary in Eastern Cape, South Africa, says the release. On Facebook, the South African reserve said they received two lions, Mir and Simba, who had been rescued from Ukraine and then stayed in Romania.

Pat Craig, The Wild Animal Sanctuary’s executive director, highlighted the complexity of the feline rescue mission.

“International rescue operations are almost always more complex in nature, but then you are factoring in a variety of foreign governments and timelines for permitting, some of those with active war zones,” Craig said in the release. “We are thankful we could get all the lions out in time and save them. That’s what matters. They will live out the rest of their lives in pristine, large, natural habitats.”

1. New recruit.

2. Not only brave Ukrainian people, but also animals are fighting with the results of the attacks of the terrorist state. Dogs of the "Antares" rescue unit help search for both civilians affected by Russian aggression and military personnel. Learn more about their difficult work
