Watch Una & Leo III Live
Una and Leo III were born November 18, 2002 at a wildlife refuge in New Hampshire. They flew to UNA when they were just 6 weeks old in a Learjet donated by a UNA supporter. They weighed 9 and 10 pounds respectively when they got here.
As of October 2017, Una weighs 320 pounds and Leo III weighs 476 pounds. We celebrate their birthday as close to April 14 as we can, because that’s when Leo I was born.
Local veterinarians Dr. Randall Smith, Dr. Matt Connolly, Dr. Bill Connolly and Dr. Brandon Fisher are providing the finest medical care as a charitable contribution.
