Hi neighbours, Auckland Zoo has lions again!
On Tuesday, it welcomed three young lionesses from Australia.
The zoo said twin sisters Aziza and Kibibi and half-sister Ilola – all four years old – have come from Werribee Open Range Zoo in Melbourne, Victoria.
Auckland Zoo is currently closed because of Covid-19 alert level 4, but once it reopens, the lions will be ready and waiting to see visitors.
Will you be booking in a visit to the zoo to see these new lions once restrictions ease?
