Waco Sculpture Zoo
Lioness with Cubs
Did you know?
? The females in a lion pride (or group) tend to do the majority of the hunting. They work as a group and use intelligent hunting tactics to catch prey. Lionesses are caring mothers who will even take care of a neglected cub. Two or more lionesses in a group tend to give birth around the same time and the cubs will be raised together. Lion cubs are extremely playful and like humans, they use play to develop strength and coordination, while practicing their gross motor skills.
At the Zoo
Cameron Park Zoo has an active breeding program for lions, which is part of Worldwide conservation efforts. Look out for the enrichment items in the lion enclosure. The zoo goes to great lengths to make sure that its animals are relaxed, happy and never bored. Content animals are healthy animals.
