Yes, Indu. My photo of her wasn't very good, but there are other photos of her in the gallery :)
 
Was Indu born at Paignton Zoo by any chance? I remember hearing about a cub of the same name with an injured leg. Do you know where Mwamba was born?
 
Thank you it is definetly the same Indu. I look forward to visiting them next week:)
 
I never noticed that! I know it is the same Lioness because the birth date's match. I must point it out when I go next week.
 
I was told that this has been done on purpose to stop people upsetting the lions by calling out their names.
 
Gosh they are so bright to understand English.The education department have excelled on this one!

An animal may recognise the sound of it's name being called (dogs for example).

Keepers will presumably call the lions name during feeding so if a visitor calls out it's name then the lion will think it is about to be fed when it actually isn't
