Dog Gets Into Lion Enclosure, Jungle Cat Smells Him

Rare Condition

James Ambler/Barcroft

Bonedigger was diagnosed with a metabolic bone disease when he was born. The rare condition meant that the lion’s bones would grow abnormally and that they would be far more brittle than usual.

This meant that the animal would never be able to live out in the wild and that his condition put him at a serious disadvantage. John had to keep his guard up at all times.
