Löwen birthday party at Leipzig Zoo: Unusual surprise for the Löwen children

Unusual prey in the Leipzig zoo: Löwen celebrate birthday with a special surprise!

in the Leipzig zoo recently occurred a very extraordinary scene that surprised not only the visitors, but also the lions themselves. The four young lions Malu, Bahati, Themba and Amaru celebrated their first birthday - and that was duly celebrated!

The Leipzig zoo surprised the big cats and her mother Kigali with a special birthday surprise. Instead of the usual prey, the lions received a delicious “birthday cake” with an edible “candle”. The lion children were enthusiastic and attacked together to enjoy the delicious gift. Visitors were able to experience this special event up close and watch how the lions devoured the unusual delicacies.

Development of the lion children in the Leipzig zoo

The Junglöwen Malu, Bahati, Themba and Amaru have developed splendidly and have grown into confident and playful animals. Under the loving care of Kigali and the zooperonal, the lions have grown into healthy and muscular big cats. According to zoo director Jörg Junhold, each lion child has developed its own unique character. Malu is the darling of Mama Kigali, Themba is stronger than the others, Amaru has strikes stripes and is independent, while Bahati is curious and open to new experiences.

early farewell to the young lions is about to

Although the lion family in the Leipzig zoo is currently living together, a sad farewell is imminent in the near future. The three male young lions will have to separate from their mother over the course of their second year. While Kigalis daughter will remain in the pack, the young males are expected to go their own way. This step not only serves the well -being of the animals, but also enables the integration of an adult lion with suitable genetics into the pack. Despite the upcoming farewell, visitors continue to have the opportunity to watch the young lion at the Leipzig zoo while playing and growing up.
