Lion triplets born in Arnhem zoo | Inland

“The first days of life are often critical for large predators, which is why Burgers’ Zoo initially offered the animals peace and space,” said the zoo.

The three cubs were born last Thursday. The Arnhem lion group has one adult lion and two adult lionesses. The other lioness gave birth to twins on July 27 this year. This means that visitors will soon be able to view five lion cubs in Burgers’ Zoo.

According to the World Wildlife Fund, the number of lions living on the African savannas has decreased by 40 percent in the past twenty years. Lions are hunted because their bones are used in medicine. Lions are also regularly killed by farmers because they hunt cattle.
