3 new lion cubs were welcomed to the Lincoln Park Zoo’s Pepper Family Wildlife Center in Chicago on January 9. This video shows the 4.5-year-old mom, named Zari, giving birth to her cubs.
Lions are listed by the IUCN as vulnerable in the wild. Zari and the cubs’ dad Jabari were recommended by the African Lion Species Survival Plan to breed. The Plan is organized by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums to make sure captive animals are bred and transported with genetic diversity and health in mind across accredited zoos.
