Luckily, the odd couple was rescued from the zoo by Big Cat Rescue.“We constructed a large natural enclosure for the two of them to share since they are truly bonded as a couple.”
A few years later, the Cameron team Zabu became more and more possessive, and even the administrators were not allowed to go near the paddock to clean or feed.
Over the years Cameron became more and more possessive of Zabu and would not allow keepers near the enclosure to clean or feed.
"We have only two choices: isolate it from Zabu forever or castrate it."
“We had only two choices: separate him from Zabu forever or neuter him.”
Cameron was finally castrated, which caused him to lose his domineering mane. But compared with being with your best friend, the price is negligible.
Cameron was neutered which resulted in the loss of his glorious mane but that’s a small price to pay to stay together with his best friend.
"Cameron’s mood has obviously softened and become more naughty."
“Cameron’s mood has mellowed dramatically and… he has even become much more playful.”
They enjoy each other’s company, running together, touching each other’s noses and taking a quiet nap. .
The two enjoy each other’s company to this day running around, nuzzling, and taking peaceful naps.
