Samira gets Spooked!

As always Samira continues to receive lots of visits from volunteers as they regularly spend time with her in her enclosure, grooming her with brushes as she purrs like a motorbike engine!

Listen to Samira purr on this video

Whilst Samira is very laid back during the day and will happily spend hours being fussed over by the volunteers, at night time it is apparent that she is not at all keen on the heavy rain and thunder and lightning storms we have been having lately! The poor girl got such a fright one night recently when a huge bolt of lightning shot across the sky above her enclosure, sending her careering across her enclosure and in the process startling the horses who were grazing nearby. The poor volunteers who are staying in tents near Samira’s camp must have wondered what on earth was going on!
