After a brief absence following the passing of our beloved elderly lions, Jabari and Kwame, Zoo Miami is proud to welcome lions back to the zoo!  Two young male lions, Azizi and Jasiri, arrived on November 6th from the Phoenix Zoo in Arizona and have completed their initial quarantine period. Born on June 3rd, 2024, these brothers are a little over a year old and are still in the early stages of developing the majestic manes that will eventually define them as they mature into the future “Kings of the Beasts.” Male lions can grow to nearly 400 pounds and are known as the most powerful predators on the African continent.
