Rescued lion "Coco" drinks water in its cage while it is being quarantined at a temporary custody centre in Lima on August 22. In the past week, British-based NGO Animal Defenders International (ADI) and Peruvian authorities oversaw the release of nine lions from three different circuses in the cities of Huaral, Ayacucho and Cusco. ADI said that the animals are being cared for in the quarantine facility before they will be relocated to specialized sanctuaries. Reuters/Enrique Castro-Mendivil
