Any idea when she will be out on exhibit?
She is out every day but not for the whole day. She and an almost thirty year old grizzly take turns being out in the viewing yard.
She is very easy to see because the pool is next to the viewing window, and she loves to swat at the fish (or maybe she is trying to fish?)

Kamaria, one of the zoo’s lionesses, will be moving to Zoo de Granby very soon. The last day to see her out on habitat is on October 17th. A new male lion will be transferred to Woodland Park Zoo next week to join, Kamaria’s sister, Ilanga.

Good luck Kamaria! Au revoir!
Do you know where the male is coming from and how old he is? I notice there is no breeding recommendation.
