    The Zoo announced via the Facebook page the birth of three lion cubs! They were born on the 10th, their mother is Tamu who also had the last cub and their father is Catali, a first time dad and the younger male at the Zoo (Mshoni is the father of the last cub).

    The lion cubs were to have gone on display over the Thanksgiving weekend but one of the cubs broke a leg and they will remain off display until it is better. The litter consists of two males and a female. No idea which one broke its leg.

    This reads less as an aquarium and more as an adventure park with marine life "rides."

    Madini, the gorilla, gave birth last night at 8:35pm. The new mother and infant are already out on exhibit with the rest of the troop.
