Between them the two Aspinall parks seems to have quite a few Lions now. Can someone with better knowledge list them all, including names, sexes, ages and parentage/links with each other. Also the combinations they are currently kept in?

Thanks for that. Are Hasani and Kamari at Port Lympne both males?

I don’t suppose anyone knows where the 4 lion cubs have come from that the Aspinall’s are posting about on their instagram pages? Supposedly their mother died and they were approached to hand rear them otherwise they would’ve been euthanised, but I’m interested to find out where this happened as I haven’t heard of any lions passing recently!

I was wondering the same, there are only 4 (i think ) professional collections with breeding prides in the UK atm and you’d think those prides are small enough for someone to notice a missing lioness. I’m currently working on the assumption theyre either from a private collection or abroad.

So from your information about the ages of the Adras/Oudrika 'cubs' am I right in thinking;

1, Kulinda and Binti(in main group at PL) are the litter sisters of male Khari at Howletts?

2. Mila(in main group at PL) is the litter sister of males Hasani & Kamari in the Lion lodge enclosure at PL?

I think you are correct, I believe I saw people in the enclosure with the two young lions on my visit in April.
