Aru and Aketi, wo are siblings, have also two sons together at Berlin, named Nathan and Miron.

Wild, isn't it?

Barbarylions in zoos are more pure than Amurleopards or wild horses.

Amur leopards are descended from a pure line with possibly one impure(Chinese) founder, whereas there's no proof the so-called Barbary Lions in zoos contain any genuine Barbary genes at all.
 
There has been some testing. If you can read german, I'll send you an article :)
 
There are tree lion groups in two exhibits, so Paul and Amira mostly spend their day indoors.
What is the composition and the individuals of these groups? I went there in 2008 and they kept one male two females and two cubs.
 
You saw Paul, Amira and her sister (who died sadly) and their cubs (who also died).
