Denver Zoo finally welcomes new male cub to its group of lions -- a feat that was months in the making and involved an entire team of specialists working to preserve the fragile species.
The Denver Zoo finally welcomed a new male cub to its group of lions -- a feat that was months in the making and involved an entire team of specialists working to preserve the fragile species.
“Genetics are a huge part of what we are looking at when we’re breeding animals or when we receive recommendations to move animals for breeding,” explained Matt Lenyo, the zoo’s assistant curator of predators. There are fewer than 25,000 lions left in Africa, according to National Geographic, whose parent company Disney, also owns ABC News. Loss of prey, loss of habitat and poaching have all contributed to the rapid decline of the species.
“We wanted to do everything we could to make sure [they were] healthy before breeding [them],” said Associate Veterinarian Dr. Betsy Stringer.“It’s important as we’re doing introductions that they are off that birth control and they’re excited to see that male,” explained Lenyo.
