<p>The 22-year-old pop star met millionaire businessman and animal lover Alex Haditaghi and was introduced to the entrepreneur's rare white lion cub, reports femalefirst.co.uk.</p>
<p>"I was amazed how great he was with animals -- how caring he was," Haditaghi told the New York Daily News newspaper's Confidenti@l column.</p>
<p>He went on to explain how the "Sorry" hitmaker is keen to stay in the animal's life.</p>
<p>"We still haven't figured out if it's an adoption or sponsorship," Haditaghi said.</p>
<p>The 38-year-old businessman is hoping to open a "1,000 to 2,000 acre" animal sanctuary in either Florida, Arizona, or Canada by the end of the year and thinks Bieber would be a great spokesperson.</p>
<p>The lion is currently being called Alex but Bieber reportedly wants to name him Simba, in honour of the main character in Disney movie 'The Lion King'.</p>
