Elsa the lioness

Elsa the Lioness (1956-January 24 1961) was a female lion raised by game warden George Adamson and his wife Joy Adamson (1910-1980) in Kenya. Elsa was a mild domesticated pet that had later been taught to hunt and live in the wild. One day she brought home three cubs of her own. She died early of babesia, a blood disease rare to cats. Her life was depicted in Joy Adamson's book Born Free and "Living Free", both of which were made into movies.
