Imogen Anthony, who recently moved to a farm with her boyfriend, Kyle Sandilands, spent her Friday in the company of exotic four-legged friends.
The model visited Zambi Wildlife Retreat in Sydney’s west, where she got up close and personal with baby lions, tigers, and a puma.
Despite the wild nature of the animals, Imogen appeared at ease, showing no signs of concern as she interacted with the big cats at the retreat, a sanctuary dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating animals in need.
She wore the same black tassel top and detailed black jeans she was spotted in the night before during an outing in Sydney, embracing her adventurous side while spending time with the lions.
In one of the photos, Imogen posed next to a lion perched on a tree, gazing at the animal as it balanced gracefully on the branch.
Another shot captured her gently stroking the back of a baby lion as it playfully moved away. She shared the moment on social media, captioning the photo, “Just casually hung with some baby lions today at Zambi Wildlife Retreat.”
Imogen also shared a picture of herself in a Yeezus T-shirt as she stroked a tiger behind a fence.
She admired the sanctuary, writing, “It was love. Zambi Wildlife Retreat is a sanctuary for rescued and retired animals from zoos, circuses, etc. Unfortunately, it isn’t open to the public yet, but they can be with our help.”
She praised the retreat’s dedicated team, adding, “I’ve never fallen in love with a place more; these kind people work their butts off—volunteer all their effort, time, and money to give these animals a beautiful, long life.”
Imogen also promoted the sanctuary’s 2015 calendar, featuring stunning images of the animals, noting that the proceeds would support the retreat’s mission.
The 23-year-old also posted a daring snap of herself beside a puma named Kota. Her recent facial and neck body art was displayed as she rested beside the big cat, her hand casually placed on its back.
Imogen’s visit highlighted the important work at Zambi Wildlife Retreat and her passion for animal welfare.
