The extra exhibit located next to the huge main exhibit in the Katanga Hill lion exhibit in Ree Park Ebeltoft Safari, Denmark. This HUGE new lion exhibit opened in 2009 and is one of the absolute best in Europe. Even though the extra exhibit is only a fraction of the size of the main exhibit it is still bigger than what many zoos keep their lions in! The extra exhibit is lush and nicely furnished.
The lions living at Katanga Hill as of 2009 are a mixed group. The young male Eisi is a pure Kalahari lion from Basel Zoo while the three female lions are hybrid lions from Borås Zoo. In the near future more Kalahari lions will be imported from Africa to create and pure-bred group. As of now (2009) the young male lion Eisi is living in the extra exhibit while the females live in the main exhibit. Once a pure Kalahari lion group is established this extra exhibit will be used to house females with young.
