It’s hard to imagine an animal as mighty and majestic as the African lion being threatened with extinction. But these kings (and queens) of the jungle need expansive hunting territories and abundant prey in order to keep their complex family groups healthy—and increasing human populations are encroaching on both.  
 
With your symbolic adoption of a plush lion, you’re helping us to continue providing world-class care for African lions here at Denver Zoo—including the four adult males in our coalition group as well as the seven members of our growing pride—as well as in the wild.
