Lion Enrichment

On special days, the lions are kept in their dens a bit longer so that interesting scents and objects can be placed in their exhibit.  On this day, our Junior Docents brought in Dolly, the llama, Ashely, the miniature donkey, and Pauline, the sheep.  the keepers also placed bags of bedding from the kangaroos and the phalangers of the Australia exhibit for the lions to discover.  As a special treat, our Summer Camp kids came to the exhibit as well!  The enrichment isn't for the lions alone; Dolly, Ashely and Pauline found the new space very interesting and long grass quite delicious, and the Juniors and Summer Camp kids were quite excited to see the zoo from the lions' perspective.  Watch as the exhibit is prepared and then see Nemo, our male lion, come out and please the crowd!
