Description
"After two and a half years of occupation, and months of fighting between ISIS militants and government forces, the Mosul Zoo was one of the few outdoor attractions still standing in Iraq's second city. The zoo survived under the stern hand of Abu Laith, the 'Father of Lions', a lifelong animal lover. As the siege continued, Abu Laith and his family and helpers went hungry to keep the animals alive, risking their lives to pick through garbage for leftovers in ISIS-occupied neighborhoods. When liberation finally came, the city, its people, and the zoo were on their last legs, until by chance a local government scientist, Hakam, saw a message on Facebook -- a charity in Austria wanted to rescue the animals. In a final heroic effort, Zombie the lion and Lulu the bear were smuggled out of Iraq in a daring rescue operation"--,Provided by publisher.
