A lion who lost his roar after being kept alone in a tiny cage at abandoned zoo for five years has an exciting future ahead of him in Africa.
Ruben was the last animal left at a former zoo on the Armenian-Azerbaijan border owned by a Russian businessman who had died.
The other animals were rescued but a new home couldn't be found for the now 15-year-old lion. Instead he was kept in a small cage in solitary confinement and because he had no other lions to communicate with he lost his roar.
