    It’s wonderful to see how well Meg is doing! She clearly signals that, though she’s obviously happily living with Icarus as her partner in the enclosure, you’re still her first choice, and if she could choose, she would choose you to live with her. After having witnessed lionesses in the wild last year, and how they choose whom to mate with, it’s so interesting and funny to see Meg’s behavior. But we’re so happy to see that you and your furry family seems to be well. We can hardly wait to visit and meet everyone!♥️🐾🙏🏻
