Asian Lions in Europe - Part Two

Only a minor detail, but Aisha from Prague has been housed at Usti whilst the zoo has been flooded.
 
Correction from earlier in the thread: The male at Santa Inacio is now confirmed as Itar (Planckendael2007 Chandra X Kolya) from Dudley. Not the breeding male from La Boissiere as previously thought

The two year old female is presumed to be the female from La Boissiere's 2011 litter of 1.1

Also confirmed today that male, Mwamba (Twycross2004 Kamal X Khari) from Paignton will shortly replace Itar at Dudley
 
The Magdeburg triplets (0.3) born 29/4 are doing well and have now been named Yasha, Roberta and Sajani
 
0.1 born at Besancon on 14th August (Tejas X Shiva) early days but everything going to plan so far.... :D

Fantastic news, but not unsurprising that these two have bred so quickly. Hopefully all will go well with Tejas the only cub from Asoka and Asha.

Where are Asoka and Asha now ?

Asoka went to Rome on a studbook recommendation in February 2010. Asha stayed on at Chester to form a new pair with male, Iblis from Planckendael. However this wasn't successful and she retired to the none breeding group at Santillana in Spain during September 2011.

Both still at these locations as far as we know...
 
Male, Leider at Jerusalem Biblical Zoo has passed away. He was born at Lodz in October 1998 (Bruno X Leui) and had resided at Jerusalem since 2000
 
Another birth just announced - 0.0.3 cubs born 18/7/13 at Parken (IsharaPLANCKENDAEL2007 X KayaDUDLEY1999)
 
Female, Kiri (ZSL1999 Kamal X Ruchii) has been transferred from Frankfurt to the none breeding group at Parc De Felins this week.

In Spring 2014 a new lioness will join her partner, Kashi who is staying on at Frankfurt (most likely from Paignton as mentioned earlier in the thread)
Löwin KIRI geht auf Reisen - Zoo Frankfurt

In other news: The triplets at Parken have been sexed as 2.1
 
Just some corrections regarding older females at Jerusalem:

Indi (Bristol 1998) died in 2008. Jade (Chester 1994) moved there to replace her, and Lavinia (London 1993) went the other way. Jade and Lavinia died in 2011 and 2012 respectively. CORRECTION: Indi did not die in 2008, she died earlier this year (2013) for reasons unknown. Jade and Lavinia appear to have been swapped.

The 2.1 cubs at Parken have been named Achir, Chinja and Chanda, taking Parken's count up to seven:

KAYA (m), SARLA (f), ISHARA (f), GIR (m), KHANA (f), ACHIR (m), CHINJA (m), CHANDA (f)

Female, Akela at Cotswolds (Burford) has been PTS this week at the grand old age of 19. She was born at Helsinki in October 1994 and had lived at Cotswolds since 1996...My thoughts are with her keepers today
