Why Does Benny Have Paint on His Paws?
Benny uses safe, nontoxic, child‑grade paint during some of his training sessions. The color on his paws is temporary and naturally wears off after a few days.
Benny is the only lion here who paints because he chooses to interact with paper and cardboard differently than our other lions. While most of our lions prefer to turn their enrichment into confetti, Benny prefers to investigate gently. Which makes him the perfect painter.
This activity is completely voluntary, enriching, and designed to let Benny express his unique personality.
