North American AZA/SSP African Lion Population

I don’t know if this was updated since the initial post. But basically, the previous two prides of the Jacksonville Zoo merged into one following Catali’s passing; and to those who are curious, listed below are the lions that currently call Jacksonville their home:


Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens - 1.2 (3)

(1.0) Khari (Catali x Tamu; September 10th, 2014 at Jacksonville Zoo)

(0.1) Tamu (Izu x Oshana; November 2nd, 2007 at San Diego Zoo Safari Park)

(0.1) Safara (Catali x Tamu; September 10th, 2014 at Jacksonville Zoo)

Since the initial list was made before Columbus regained accreditation, how many lions do they hold currently and which individuals? I haven't been aware of any deaths for a few years.

Wow I hadn't realized their pride had gotten so small! I know the keepers had seen Roary breeding the females earlier this spring but obviously that didn't amount to anything.
 
On the subject of Columbus Zoo lions, Naomi (Tomo x Asali) and the 3 sons she had with Tomo at Columbus Zoo in August 2019 are now outside the AZA at Animal Park at the Conservators Center in Burlington, North Carolina. Their names are Kabaka, Jabari and Omot (Tomo backwards):

(0.0.2) African lions were born on June 3rd at the Phoenix Zoo in Arizona to male Boboo and female Zuri. This is the first time the facility bred lions successfully since 1976.

No lion, we have some big news to share… and we p(r)aw-mise it’s definitely worth roaring about! On Monday, June 3, six-year-old lioness Zuri gave birth to two lion cubs. These are the first African lions born at the Phoenix Zoo since 1976. And, this is the first litter for Zuri and eight-year-old Boboo. The cubs will spend several months with mom in the lion’s den behind-the-scenes before they are ready to venture out and make their public debut. So, make sure to follow us on social for updates from the den box until then! | Phoenix Zoo

Where did you discover this info? On August 6th, they posted a photo of what looked to be Uma or Willa and they clarified and confirmed that it was Uma.

Was curious and just found a tweet from Cincinnati Zoo, two lions with the same names and a 3rd named Kya.
