Ales Basista is a man with a lot courage and a good heart. Did we mention that he also happens to live with two grown-ass lions?



In this first episode of the television series “Preposterous Pets”, Ales explains on how he rescued the lions from a local circus while they were still cubs:
Lion cub Alex was born with a deformed spine and Ales is convinced he would have died if he had stayed in the circus. Lioness Mijanka was just four weeks old when she joined the family a short while later at their home in Stupava in the Czech Republic.
