In my nearest zoo (Silesian Zoo in Poland) things got a little interesting and we might be having in the near future a new lion exhibit where our katanga lions might "get lucky". So because of that I wanted to do some research and tried to list all the katanga lions in European zoos. Couldn't find an existing thread so... Here is what I found: CZECH REPUBLIC Zoo Brno (1,1) 1,0 LOLEK (07-15, Zoo Gdansk) 0,1 KIVU (?, Zoo ?)

If you see any mistakes of course don't hesitate to feedback. Love!
More detailed info about lions in Brno I wrote in the thread Zoo Brno two weeks ago. Another lions in Europe are: Zoo Wrocław - female Okavango born in Nesles 30.07.07 Zoo Zlin - male Kibange born in Basel 09.11.13 Something wrong with Loro Parque or two different groups? And you misplaced Italian Valcorba Zoo in Portugal
Thanks Arek. Already got the info for Wroclaw + Zlin but was not able to prepare the update yet. Of course the second Parque should be Valencia, and I did placed Valcorba in Italy but then should have pasted Oporto (and not Valcorba) in Portugal. Will try to prepare the newest version maybe even today!
