261 reactions · 33 shares | The wait is over! After months of submissions and voting, our fans helped us pick names for our two female lion cubs and we’re thrilled to introduce you to the two newest members of our lion pride: Adari and Zarina! Born right here at Lion Country Safari, these playful sisters are already full of personality, charm, and a dash of mischief. It doesn’t take long to figure out who’s who. Zarina is our resident troublemaker and social butterfly. Always the instigator of playtime (and a little bit of chaos), she’s constantly trying to rope her sister or mom into her games and will climb all over both of them. She’s also a sassy little lioness, often giving our team a few vocal opinions before trotting over to investigate the keepers going about their day in adjacent areas of the care quarters. Adari, on the other hand, is our quiet explorer. She’s totally content to head off on a solo adventure or nap in a cool spot, no entourage required. She’s already showing a resemblance to mom, Mara, and grandma, Leela, especially in her wide head and golden-yellow coat. Both cubs share a deep love for two things: palm fronds and splash time. Just like their big sister, Mashika, and mom, Mara, Adari and Zarina are already little water babies. Watching them tumble, chase, and pounce in toys with filled with shallow water is a show in itself! They’re also incredibly curious and brave. Even when Mara gives her best “mom voice” warnings, these two can’t resist investigating anything new. In fact, they’ve already mastered the art of distraction—while Mara’s busy corralling one cub, the other makes a break for it and pulls off the mischief! #lioncubs #lioncountrysafari #thepalmbeaches #floridawildlife #conservation | Lion Country Safari
