- Elsa was fearless by nature. Frightening the rhinoceros. Once the giraffes were attacked and chased by Joy-George, with the expectation that they would rip the giraffes apart!

That the Masai in Nia did not happen last month in the grasslands of Mara. Vanraj Singh attacked the wild buffaloes but the buffaloes retaliated in such a way that the lion had to run away, not only that, he had to climb a tree and take shelter for an hour. Pictures of the incident appeared in Gujarat Samachar. Speaking of Kenyan lions, the book 'Born Free', written by Joy Adamson and published in 190, is one of the best sellers in the world. Joy's husband George was a senior warden in northern Kenya.

One day George heard a complaint that a lion had become a man-eater. A lion pierced George's hand as he went hunting. Three cubs were found in a nearby barn. What do they do now? George brought home. The brown-eyed cubs seemed to be in love. Joy and George's pet rabbit accepted them as companions.

Days passed. In Tantiya, the lion cubs came out to identify the neighbors. Weasel found in front. Believing that the house was better than such a neighborhood, the children came back breathless. Sassarana's ruwab lasted a few days, but then he could subdue the baby. There are frequent instances of puppies of one species mingling with animals of another species, indicating the victory of motherhood over racism. In time, the two cubs were sent to a zoo in Rotterdam.

The third cub was named 'Elsa.' Orphan Elsa learned nothing from her mother, not even realizing her own power. He ran forty donkeys in ten directions carrying the load of goods. The goat ran away, but then the moon stood still, not knowing what to do. The herd of elephants chased after the pressure. Coming home he fell in love with Joy, licked his mouth, sucked his thumb. Joy realized for the first time that Elsa had a different and different world, with no entrance to herself.

Elsa was fearless by nature. Frightening the rhinoceros. Once the giraffes were attacked and chased by Joy-George, with the expectation that they would rip the giraffes apart! Because of foster parents, it is believed that all European humans are of the lion race, and should be treated in a friendly manner. Sometime Elsa had to leave the camp and Joy-George had to get out. Elsa realized from the Land Rover's whining that she was going to be alone, but not even looking at her foster parents, and maintaining her self-esteem. With Joy-George she was connected not with a dog-owner relationship but with a friend-friend relationship.

George went to Lake Rudolph for forestry work. Elsa may have found it difficult to walk for hours on end, but she endured because of her love for her foster parents. Joy writes that I am blessed to have had the companionship of such a sword-wielding, intelligent, and proud animal.

Once Elsa sat in the bush. Screams were heard from inside. When George rushes over, he sees Elsa sitting on the back of a forest, crossing the river. The Muslim keeper of Elsa came up with the idea that if I do 'halal' before Pado dies, I can eat meat. He ran with the bullets. Ram goes to the hunting lion, but Elsa does not bend the keeper's hair. In the old days it was believed that human beings are at the center of the world, other animals are thoughtless. But on this occasion the lion's restraint and discretion prevail.

One day, Elsa Lions' family joined them. The camp favored Joy-George. Would wild lions have eaten? Elsa arrived after spending two nights and began rubbing her golden fur with Joy's legs. It was believed at the time that the pets did not have the skills to live in the garden, but as a result of Elsa's adventure, Joy and George decided to set him free.

Joy and George take Elsa away from their camp, describing the incident in Joy's words:

"Sarita was moving in front of us, just as she was moving yesterday, she will be moving tomorrow," said the gray milkmaid, squeezing the dry leaves and flowing into the water. Elsa was a part of this life. She was the child of this garden. "

"A deer named Kudu used to feed the weeds with aristocracy. Leaving the pasture, he lifted the dock, looked around, and noticed the twinkling twigs and sliding shadows. Due to its symmetrical body, white tusks and curved horns, this deer is a work of nature.

"There was a commotion in the water. The female hippo and her cub were grazing on the opposite shore, standing on their hind legs in the water to escape the heat.

In the distance, a herd of elephants descended silently like ghosts. As the rocky shore was narrow, one elephant drank water, turned around, and was replaced by another. The sun bids farewell to the Acacia tree with a golden crown. I told Manoman: "Elsa has a right to this gift."

Joy-George left Elsa and came to camp. A few days later Elsa came to see him, rubbed her back, licked her mouth, as if not saying, 'I love you, but can't wait any longer, what happens, my lord is waiting ...'

It is said that the daughter belongs to two clans: to the peers and to the in-laws. So it was with Elsa, she was free to move between culture and nature.

While the book 'Born Free' was being printed in London, the publisher received a telegram from Kenya by Joy Adamson, 'Elsa has given birth to a baby!'
