Belfast Zoo Welcomes Three Young Lions | Belfast News

Belfast Zoo just got a whole lot wilder with the arrival of three playful two-year-old Northern lion brothers—Kumo, Djibo, and Mao—who made their debut after traveling from France. These energetic youngsters are already causing chaos with their antics, like tug-of-war with sacks, and are part of a vital European breeding effort to revive the zoo’s lion population after the loss of its aging Barbary lionesses. Keepers are keeping them busy with enrichment like frozen treats and climbing poles, ensuring they stay healthy and active without the arthritis issues their predecessors faced. Though still juveniles (no full manes yet), their wild energy is already stealing hearts—and the zoo is encouraging visitors to come see them in action.
