Topeka Zoo’s Oldest Lioness Lives On

Asante, the 22-year-old lioness at Topeka Zoo, is the oldest accredited AZA lioness ever — and she’s battling kidney disease. Despite being past her prime, she’s getting top-tier care, with vets and keepers monitoring her closely. At 22, she’s defying the norm — most captive lionesses don’t live past 16. Her birthday in April was a big deal, and the zoo’s dedication to her well-being is a testament to their commitment to animal longevity and comfort. We’re all rooting for her to keep thriving.
