The Assiniboine Park Zoo’s two Asiatic lions will be moving to zoological facilities in England on the recommendation of the European Endangered Species Program (EEP). The twin brothers, Bhanu and Kamal, arrived in Winnipeg in the spring of 2012 from the Zoologischer Garten Magdeburg in Germany and have spent the last four years in Assiniboine Park Zoo’s Pavilion of the Lions exhibit. Bhanu will move to the London Zoo next Wednesday and Kamal will be transferred to the Chessington Zoo in mid-March. Both facilities are currently home to female Asiatic lions and hope to successfully breed the pairs in the future. Assiniboine Park Zoo is encouraging the public to visit the Zoo this weekend to say good-bye to the lions. Zookeeper talks have been scheduled for 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on both Saturday and Sunday where visitors can learn more about this exciting species.
