Phoenix Zoo welcomes new African lion
Jan. 27
The Phoenix Zoo announced its newest resident, Pilipili, a three-year-old African lion.
The male lion, which weighs nearly 500 pounds, was brought to the Valley from Chicago’s Lincoln Park Zoo. Pilipili joins female lionesses, Zuri & Kamara, in the Phoenix Zoo.
The move comes after a recommendation was made as part of the African Lion Species Survival Plan®, a reliable program dedicated to maintaining a healthy, sustainable population of African lions.
Joaquin Hidalgo, Marketing and Communications Coordinator at The Phoenix Zoo, joined “Arizona Horizon” to discuss more about the new addition.
