The Lion Sleeps Tonight

The word Owimoweh means sleeping lion. There is even a very popular old song, a simple lullaby about a sleeping lion, the original Zulu song, Mbube (meaning “Lion”). Though in the traditional culture, the phrase means something different as well. For my purposes now, I am only focusing on the simple English version.

It seems like every time we see the lions at the WAS (Wild Animal Sanctuary) they are either sleeping or just lazing around. Rarely do we see them being active. Though we did see one lioness thoroughly enjoying the turtle she caught on one of our recent visits. She was so proud of herself too. But today, I am focusing only on the sleeping lions, the Owimoweh.

Oh the lion’s life. I guess being the king of the jungle has its rewards. 🙂

Have a great day and make everyday great. Stay safe and stay well. ‘Til next time.
