Females have litters of one to six cubs, usually two or three.
The lion is a popular attraction at many zoos around the world and a number of facilities conduct excellent breeding programs to ensure that the lion will be around for many years to come. Our Timbavati female lion adoption, Prosperity, was born at Roy's Secret Garden at the Mirage Resort in Las Vegas on Christmas Day in 1997 and is one of three African lions donated to the Cincinnati Zoo by internationally recognized magicians Siegfried and Roy in 1998.
