Скачать или смотреть Kitwana's Fursuiting Magic: The 2018 Highlights Compilation!

My christmas gift to you! Here's my annual look back to my most magical fursuiting moments. In 2018, my 3 lion characters spread joy and smiles across Europe. I started out in my hometown of Lucerne, Switzerland, where I performed Scar to the annual carnival parade. Then it was off to a quick Easter getaway onto the Spanish island of Tenerife, where I performed my main lion character, Kitwana around the town of Puerto de la Cruz.

My favorite outing took place in early June as I was allowed to return to my workplace, which is an institution providing care to special needs kids and adults in Lucerne, Switzerland. This is a really thankful audience and pure joy for me to perform for people who have to battle many challenges in their daily life - which is why I love it even more to transport them for a brief moment into a world of fantasy. Kitwana is just here for them. He doesn't judge, he doesn't ask questions and I think these people really appreciate these carefree moments that I can create with the performance of a 6 ft tall lion character.

Another highlight took place in September where I and my friends got to perform for the Children Cancer Association of Central Switzerland, as a local group of U.S. cars enthusiasts took them on a ride through the rural parts of my area, ending up at a restaurant where fluffy critters awaited them with lots of hugs!

Ongoing were our 4 annual public outings around the Swiss capitals of Bern, who generated over $300 for 3 different Swiss animal-related charities from the generous folks encountering our characters wandering the streets of the UNESCO world heritage Old Town of Bern.

With Kato Lion, I happened to be invited to the Bochum, Germany May Evening Kids Fest for the 3rd year in a row - another experience I would not want to miss anymore.

This video is a reminder what great joy it is to perform an animal mascot costume for the simple task to entertain those around us and to spread magic to those who really need it most!

Special thanks go to everyone who helped in any way to make these events possible, namely my handlers and camera people who worked hard in the background as unsung heroes.

From my lions to you: Merry Christmas and may YOU experience lots of magical moments, too in 2019!

Lions are social animals!
