I have an hour to decide, is this zoo worth a quick visit?

 

[Milwaukee Man]

Racine Zoo is small, but the collection is not bad, and most of the exhibits are pretty nice. I think it's worth a visit.

Is it not true their next new big project / new exhibit will be a lion pride kopje?

 

[TZFan]

Azizi has given birth to two cubs, sometime overnight. Right now they are unsure if more are on the way or if it will just be the two.

A third lion cub arrived about 5 hours after its siblings. They are monitoring that cub closely to ensure it is healthy and thriving like the others.

A webcam, known as the "Cubcam," with the lion cubs was launched.

The lion cubs have received their names: the males are "Enzi" and "Hodari," and the female is "Zuri" (this name is seriously overused in my opinion). They also made their debut on August 23rd.
