Cubs Zoo to Send Four Male Lions to Denver
The zoo plans to transfer four young male African lions to Denver through the Species Survival Plan. They won't breed, and the cubs have thrived since birth last year. The move comes as wild male cubs are expelled from prides. survival rates are low due to rivals, starvation, and disease. The cubs' departure date is not set, but could be soon. Amali and cubs are separated from father Razi to reduce conflict and because Amali is not on contraceptives. African lions face habitat loss, isolation, inbreeding risk, and population decline of about 42 percent in 21 years.
