With all of the criticism with some of Cincinnati Zoo's exhibits over the years (Cat House, Nocturnal House, Bird House and Reptile House) I must say that there are some good outdoor yards and this future lion exhibit definitely looks quite impressive in this photo. What is below the visitor fence? Does the yard slope downwards or is there any kind of moat present? Also, what is on the other side of the tall rock walls?

A moat and a slope will keep the lions from the hoofstock. Behind the walls is the seating for the Cheetah Encounter
 
A new pair recommended for breeding. The male is coming from the National Zoo and the female is coming from the St. Louis Zoo.
 
Are the zoos white lions elderly, and if so are there plans to replace them with a new species. Its interesting that the zoo has 2 lion and flamingo exhibits.

Prosperity was born on December 25, 1997, and Sunshine and Future were born in October the same year. So they are 15 years old. Gracious, the only female out of Sunshine's and Prosperity's four lion litter, was born on April 1, 2001 and is 12 years old.
