It’s ! We’re so grateful for our African lion pair, Mashavu and Khari.

World Lion Day exists to bring attention to the importance of lion conservation. We are so fortunate to have such great ambassadors here at the Pueblo Zoo to connect with and educate the public on the conservation of African lions.
