I love how I was able to capture this at just the right moment so he looks like he's scowling. This shot always makes me think of Scar from The Lion King.
Taken in April, 2022.
Boomer, the GVZ's 14yo old lion - at the time of my visit, Boomer was living alone, as he was being slowly introduced to his new partner, the white lioness Tess.
I liked this shot because it gives a good sense of how the enclosure is and you can see how lush it is. I definitely think the lions have the best exhibit of this complex, at least from a visual standpoint.
I have so many photos of the lions from this visit that I love but I had to go with this one because of how powerful and regal he looks in it. This is Ingozi. You'd never know from this photo, but he's actually small for a male lion. His mate, Cabara is actually a bit larger than he is.
Our "Lion King". He died end of January this year, aged almost twenty. I live close to the zoo and at night we were able to hear him roar. So strange, to not hear that anymore.
Photo taken by my parents in 1980. The old outdoor enclosure of the lions. We had a lot of big cats (lions, tigers, panthers/leopards). They demolished the house and now we only have lions. But that's absolutely fine :)
Hey all,
Im looking for all the names Lions (and maybe even the history of offsprings and transports, if possible ) that lives currently in the Netherlands. It would help me alot. Thank you guys in advance and have a great day.
Kind regards,
PieterLiter
