Interesting update: it has been revealed that a litter of twin lions were born in October 29, over a month after closing down. This is highly questionable considering that the gestation period of lions is around three months. NSS announced their closure in March, more than three months before the birth, so they allowed their lions to copulate despite planning to close down in late September.

Personally, I think it would be better to send it to Maruyama Zoo, but sending it to Maruyama Zoo might not be easy either.

I doubt Maruyama has any space to accept five new lions.

Asahiyama Zoo also keeps lions, but I don't think these lions will necessarily be moved to other zoos in Hokkaido.
