Woburn had a lion cub called Kamara born 2014 with Zuri, does anyone know what happened to her(persumably died?)

Does anyone know how old Mo was when she died earlier this year?

She transferred back to Africa Alive from Whipsnade but I've heard she has since died.

Teekay is the mother of both Libby and Karis.

Teekay gave birth to Libby in September 2011 and Karis in September 2013.

Persumably they're all still living? Libby or Karis gave birth I think(can't remember how many or when)

According to their website, Libby and Karis are still living.

Details of their cubs (both have bred) are as follows:

Getting to know our lions - Blair Drummond Safari Park

Our two adult females, Karis and Libby, are sisters, and they both have offspring fathered by Zulu. Karis had a litter of four cubs in 2016, two boys, and two girls – Murray, Reid, Isla and Thistle. Karis’ sister Libby then gave birth to two female cubs in 2019 – Hope and Faith.

That’s sad to hear about Safina. Saw her only last month. A sad time for the zoo and you have to feel for everyone.

They’ve achieved great ages with their lions.
