Congrats!
Three of the 29 lions rescued by the former Price Is Right host, Bob Barker, won the show case of a lifetime!
Bolivia became the first country in South America to outlaw the use of animals in circuses last year, and the 87-year-old TV icon paid for the seized animals to be airlifted to Denver, where they have spent months getting checked out by veterinarians and having their teeth fixed at the Wild Animal Sanctuary.
Today, three of the rehabilitated lions will be released into a savannah-like habitat on the plains of eastern Colorado, with water and underground dens.
No word yet if the big cats have been spayed or neutered.
