On a day off from a long business trip to Sapporo, I went to Asahikawa Zoo in the freezing cold to meet the lion Io-chan. A few years ago, I happened to stop by a zoo in Ehime and met Io-chan, who was just a newborn baby, and was overwhelmed by how cute she was. I heard that Io-chan has now become a loving and caring mother, despite the harsh environment, so I went to check on her growth. ↓Blog here↓ Road to Centenarian https://roadto-100.com/asahiyama_zoo
