Support the Lion Cubs!
In January, our South African lioness Ilanga welcomed two adorable female cubs into the world! These little ones mark an exciting new chapter in our multi‑generational pride: their dad, Tandie, was also born right here at Woodland Park Zoo in 2014 to beloved lions Xerxes and Adia.
Now you have the chance to play a special role in their story! Scroll to see more details below.
