Jupiter is a Colombian Lion who became famous while residing at Rfamous Villa Lorena. He was rescued from the circus, where he was frequently abused and had his claws removed.

Villa Lorena is an animal refuge unlike any other, which cares for hundreds of abused animals, including this lion named Jupiter.  Many of the animals had previously belonged to drug traffickers who had been apprehended.

Ana Julia Torres is the caretaker of four lions, nine Bengal tigers, jaguars, cougars, a crocodile, a speckled bear, an ostrich, Jocko the chimpanzee, spider monkeys, and hundreds of brightly colored birds.  According to Ana Julia, they all have one thing in common: they have all been abused. They’re lame, or have lost arm or legs; they’re blind, or can’t concentrate, or have actually lost an eye.

Previously, Jupiter had lost trust in people and had developed a fear of human contact. This phobia vanished when he was cared for by Anna Julia.

He quickly lost weight and became very ill.  When he had the opportunity to see Ana Julia one last time at the Los Caimanes Zoo, she found he has kidney and liver damage and is so thin.

Jupiter succumbed to liver cancer and di.ed in 2020, but his memory lives on Goodbye Jupiter, you must be happy in heaven!

May this beautiful lion now R.I.P. after so much suffering and a very big thank you to the lady who loved and nurtured him only to lose him.????  Thank God for the good people who work so hard to save them ? Read
