The purpose of this thread is to document all births, deaths, and transfers of African lions in North American zoos that are either AZA-accredited or are not AZA but participate in the lion SSP. Yep, I'm back making these lists, lol. Anyways, when I say North American, I'm only referring to the US and Canada however because while Mexico does have some AZA/SSP holders, it has been close to impossible to find accurate information about their animals so I've omitted them from the list. Overall, this population is aging with not nearly as many cubs being born as they were about a decade ago but this is understandable considering they need to/needed to place all the cubs born in the baby boom around 8-10 years ago and wouldn't want a bunch more cubs being born that also need to be placed. I expect we'll see more breeding happening in another 5 or so years down the line when most of the older animals start passing away but for now, breeding will likely continue to be at a minimum. The population has benefited a lot from imports from private breeding facilities in South Africa in recent years but these new bloodlines quickly become quite overrepresented (ie SDZSP's, Smithsonian's, and Fort Worth/Abilene's lines).
Some formatting notes, some zoos manage more than one pride so I have indicated which animals belong to which pride in most of these cases. However, for some zoos (like Lion Country Safari) I wasn't too sure if/how the animals are split up and came up short when searching it up or looking through social media pages so please let me know if I've made an error there! I've also tried my best to dig through the internet to find all the information needed but in the end, I could not find everything and there are some "unk" in there meaning I was not able to find that information. However, most of the information marked unknown is for animals imported from outside North America with the exception of the names of the parents of the individuals born at Fort Worth in the 2000s as I couldn't find their names for the life of me. Please let me know if you know their names!
Just a note, I realize that Columbus (and Erie) not being included is a glaring omission but both are not currently accredited by the AZA (or are a part of the lion SSP) and I just didn't think it would make sense to include them since I've made it clear that this list is only for AZA/SSP facilities.
Sorry for the super long introduction but that's basically all I've got to say. Let me know if anything's missing here or if I've made any errors or anything!

Some formatting notes, some zoos manage more than one pride so I have indicated which animals belong to which pride in most of these cases. However, for some zoos (like Lion Country Safari) I wasn't too sure if/how the animals are split up and came up short when searching it up or looking through social media pages so please let me know if I've made an error there! I've also tried my best to dig through the internet to find all the information needed but in the end, I could not find everything and there are some "unk" in there meaning I was not able to find that information. However, most of the information marked unknown is for animals imported from outside North America with the exception of the names of the parents of the individuals born at Fort Worth in the 2000s as I couldn't find their names for the life of me. Please let me know if you know their names!
Just a note, I realize that Columbus (and Erie) not being included is a glaring omission but both are not currently accredited by the AZA (or are a part of the lion SSP) and I just didn't think it would make sense to include them since I've made it clear that this list is only for AZA/SSP facilities.
Sorry for the super long introduction but that's basically all I've got to say. Let me know if anything's missing here or if I've made any errors or anything!
