We’re not lion, Woodland Park Zoo’s two adorable South African lion cubs will make their public debut Monday, May 18. Viewing the 4-month old female cubs will be intermittent—there is no viewing schedule at this time.

Kamari (kuh‑MAH‑ree) and Zawadi (zah-WAH-dee) were born January 14 to first‑time parents, mom Ilanga (ee‑LONG‑uh) and dad Tandie. Kamari’s name means “moon” in Swahili, Zawadi means “gift.”

Both mom and dad are doing excellently in their new roles as parents, as all four lions continue to bond, play and, yes, nap in the outdoor habitat.  The pride of lions lives in the zoo’s African Savanna.

Zoo hours: 9:30 a.m.–6:00 p.m. daily. Accessibility: Information about accessibility and resources, one-to-one aides, sighted guides, mobility equipment rentals, and a sensory map and tools can be found at www.zoo.org/access. ADA ramp access for Historic Carousel.
