Thanks, I got some nice shots of the girls at Twycross Zoo today which I shall upload some time this week.
 
Would be great to see them. Do you have any idea what happened to the Twycross Lions? When Kamal was there when i visited in 2006 there was 1 breeding female a younger female Jadzia (Female + Kamal) along with two male cubs there was a 3rd female but she was on her own at another end of the zoo due to an injury. Be great if anyone knows :)
 
Well the breeding female died, and that was what prompted Kamal's movement to Bristol, to get a switch around in breeding pairs. As far as I know (i read in an annual report of Twycross on the internet) that Jazira and a female from the previous litter (possibly the injured female) where to relocate to a European zoo (unsure off top of head) for breeding. I'm not 100% what happened to the males although I think a male went to Paignton?
 
Yes Mwamba was moved to Paignton Zoo as a partner for the resident female Indu. Though they have yet breed.
