@twilighter How many lions are at the Bronx Zoo?

I have seen a male and a female, as far as I remember. @ThylacineAlive can give you the correct answer.

Correction: I have seen two males.

I think the zoo actually has three males, but one has to be separated from the other two for some reason. Not sure if they rotate on-exhibit or if the third lives elsewhere.

@ThylacineAlive Is that island their only area to roam?

@Brayden Delashmutt Yes. The habitat is larger than this photo makes it appear, it goes a fair bit back. The habitat is from the 1940's, when African Plains opened. It would be nice if they could expand it a bit.

@ThylacineAlive good to hear that the exhibit is larger than it seems. Anyways, thanks and (among many other places) hope to visit the Bronx Zoo soon.
