Description

The exciting news was covered by the Columbus Dispatch in August 2015:
"Powell, OH : Four African lion cubs were born Sunday evening, Aug. 16 at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, just days after the pregnancy of the other lioness was announced. This is the first lion cub birth at the Zoo since September 2009.

The cubs were born to second-time parents Asali and Tomo. The birth was observed the day Asali's sister, Kazi, was scheduled to be moved off-view into her own denning shelter, as she is expected to give birth to her first litter later this month. All three adult lions and the cubs are interacting well together in the Heart of Africa lion yard, which is currently closed to the public. Asali and the cubs are expected to move into a denning shelter in the near future."


So, now the Columbus Zoo has 6 lion cubs! On this day during my visit, the parents must have been up all night with the babies because they were certainly being lazy. Occassionally Asali would nuzzle with Tomo and they really seemed to show affection towards one another. One of the cubs was rough housing and knocked into Tomo, who then turned around with an angry reaction. Asali was quick to step in the middle and seemed to tell the cub not to do that again!

They are so fun to watch.

Thank you so much for taking time to look through my images and collections. I really appreciate your time!


I am very concerned with our environment and have decided to donate any money I make from any sales of this image to the ENVIRONMENTAL DEFENSE FUND.....because the Earth needs a good lawyer! We all need to speak up and support efforts to protect our environment. We will not get a second chance!
