18Oct

Meet Cunsi

  • Birthday:  October 18, 2005

  • Species:  Lion – Panthera Leo

  • Status:  Threatened

On this day 13 years ago, Cunsi was born on a bright October day under unusual circumstances. She is one of four cubs removed from her mother via emergency C-section. Of that litter, Cunsi got the most of her mother’s attitude. She had the typical rough-and-tumble cubhood of most lions and has developed into an athletic adult. You can find Cunsi dribbling her red ball or practicing the art of yoga, sometimes doing both at the same time.  Lions are the only large cat species considered to be social and our Cunsi is no exception.  She takes delight to when visitors come to visit and equally loves the attention, particularly when she can get a back scratch from one of her handlers.
