These 3 lion cubs were born on September 22. They are the first litter for mother Asali and father Tomo and the first born at the Columbus Zoo in 24 years. The pairing of Asali and Tomo was recommended by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums Species Survival Plan (SSP) for African lions. The AZA, of which the Columbus Zoo is an accredited member, strives to maintain a sustainable population of lions in North America.
Currently there are 349 African lions in 98 institutions in North America. Of those 349 animals only 176 are pedigreed meaning lions with known ancestry. The Columbus Zoo lions are one of only 31 pairs of pedigreed lions recommended for breeding by the SSP to maintain genetic diversity.
Once common in Africa, lions recently became a global issue when scientific evidence revealed that lion populations had plummeted by a staggering 50% over the past two decades. Lions are threatened by human population growth and agricultural expansionwhich leads to increasing levels of conflict between people and lions.
Through its Conservation Fund, the Columbus Zoo is supporting the work of Shivani Bhalla, a Kenyan Ph.D. student at the University of Oxford. Shivani and her team fit radio-collars on lions in northern Kenya to gather behavioral information critical to formulating a conservation plan. The goal is to encourage a more harmonious co-existence between wildlife and people by reducing the loss of livestock caused by lion attacks and reducing the number of lions killed in the conflicts.
Asali and her cubs will be provided access to the outdoor habitat daily weather permitting. What time they will go out each day and how long they will stay out will depend upon the weather and the animals. (Note: the Zoo is closed on Thanksgiving and Christmas Day.)
Columbus Zoo and Aquarium is 363 days of the year 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day, and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. after Labor Day. General admission is $12 for adults, $7 for children ages 2 to 9 and seniors 60+. Children under 2 and Columbus Zoo members are free. The Zoo was named the #1 Zoo in America by USA Travel Guide and is accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA.)

The Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium's orphaned African painted dog puppies at 1 month old. The pups' mother died shortly after delivery. Typically, African painted dog litters have only a 50% survival rate with a mother. Without, the pups had the odds stacked against them. The Zoo quickly found a local shelter dog named Honey who began rearing and nursing the pups. Thanks to Honey's efforts, and the hard work of the Zoo vet staff, which has tended to the dogs around the clock, five of the original litter of nine have survived. Though the dogs still have a long road ahead of them, the Zoo's vets are cautiously optimistic about their prospects.
