    Default live in liberty/in freedom

    Hi there,

    If it's ok to say "the lion is an animal that lives in liberty in Kakaguma, Africa" or should be "in freedom"?

    Thanks

    I like "at liberty" better in your sentence.

    I would use 'freedom' there, so it seems to be a matter of personal choice.
