In September 2018, Rian shared some great news with Scenic Drive listeners - Sylvester is the father of two beautiful cubs.
Rian recently visited Sylvester in his new home at Kuzuko Lodge, where Sylvester has been with a younger male lion and two orphaned lionesses for two years.
"Seeing this lion was surreal, cause I never met him. It was one of the best moments of my life," said Rian.
