Gone, dead ????
I was also under the impression that their names were Michael and Sriracha but in the latest studbook, it is stated that their names are Safara and Khari. Not sure what's going on there!

Does anyone know if Milwaukee will be getting a male lion to participate in the SSP?

Milwaukee is an AZA institution, therefore it is "participating" in the SSP. Participating in an SSP doesn't always mean breeding, and there is a need in most SSPs for holding facilities that aren't breeding/holding bachelor groups. Holding an SSP species means an institution is participating in the SSP, regardless of whether breeding is occurring or not. That being said, I have absolutely no idea what Milwaukee's future with lions entails- whether it include males, females, or both.

I get that, they moved 3 females just before the zoo closed during covid in hopes to breed with their male, then the male lion passed. Since then they’ve just had the 3 females. Wasn’t sure what was the plan.
