The lincolnparkzoo lion cubs make their big debut!
The energetic trio scampered, nuzzled, frolicked and at times tested the patience of mom Zari just like all youngsters.
The debut took place during a special event for zoo members and the press, with the cubs expected to have regular access to the exhibit if they choose beginning April 15. Members of the lion pride make their own decisions about where to spend their time, zoo officials said. Up to this point, the cubs — Pesho , Sidai and Lomelok — have been bonding behind the scenes with Zari.
The three “have surpassed many critical milestones including nursing, opening their eyes, their first vet exam and meeting the rest of the lion pride, to name a few,” Maureen Leahy, vice president of animal care and horticulture at the zoo, said in a statement. “We are so excited to watch them continue to grow, discover the habitat and see their individual personalities shine through.”Lion populations have declined for the past 100 years, with fewer than 20,000 remaining.
