In a warehouse near Bangkok, Thailand, the police found 14 albino lions!

Montri Boonprom-on, a pet shop owner, was arrested and is facing charges stemming from the possession of these rare animals.

Birds, meerkats, tortoises, peafowls, capuchin monkeys and more were all found at the warehouse.

Montri not only owns an exotic pet shop, but he's also been convicted of wildlife trading before!

Bella Thorne is one lucky girl!

She's currently seeing the wonderful world, on location in South Africa, filming her new movie Blended.

So not only does she get to see the world and star in a movie (alongside Adam Sandler), she also got to see some pretty kitties!

If you're in the southwestern part of Ohio, and you see a large monkey running around - don't worry, you're not tripping. In all likelihood the monkey is totally real.

Because in fact a large monkey was reported to have escaped from a train carrying circus animals from Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey.

But a monkey wasn't the only one to escape from the circus - apparently a huge lion escaped, as well.

Back on April 7th, four Asiatic Lion cubs were born at the Emmen Zoo in Holland.

The little guys are so crazy cute it hurts!

They were born to proud parents Zulu, the papa, and Tia, the mama.

The night house den, a behind the scenes enclosure, was cleared of all other lions, so Tia and her babies could bond during the critical first few weeks of life.

With a live webcam back there, the keepers have been able to monitor the cubs as they nurse, bond and grow bigger and bigger each day.

Tia is apparently an excellent mother.

So glad that all the little cubs are happy and healthy!

The world can always use a few more lions.

Wow!

We knew lions were awesome, but dang!

8 years ago a 12-year-old girl was kidnapped by 7 men in Ethiopia. Apparently the idea was to marry her off to one of them. Although that begs the question - why did they need seven men to do that?

Anyways, the girl was rescued from her kidnappers, by some unlikely heroes — LIONS!!!

Here are all of the crazy deets:

Indian Lions, or Asiatic Lions, are a very rare and endangered species on this precious planet.

Which is why it is such a blessing to hear that quadruplet cubs were born on March 15th at the Budapest Zoo in Hungary!

That's four, count 'em FOUR, new lion cubs to add to their endangered race!

The four's parents Shirwane and Basil must be so proud!

We know we are!!!

And we're also overcome with emotion after looking at the pictures of these brand new cubs!!

Oh no! This is just awful!!

In Colorado Springs, a mountain lion snatched up and ate a poor doggy dog!!

The dog was a lil dachshund and his owner was out walking him in a gated community.

While just strolling along, the wild animal jumped out of some bushes, grabbed the dog, ran off and ATE it!!!
