Czech zoo welcomes 4 rare Barbary lion cubs whose population is extinct in the wild

CZECH REPUBLIC, AUG 6 – Fewer than 200 Barbary lions remain in captivity as Czech zoo cubs boost genetic diversity and support plans for future reintroduction in North Africa's Atlas Mountains.

  • Three female and one male Barbary lion cubs were seen playing in their enclosure at a Czech zoo, after being born as part of an international program to conserve the endangered species.
  • The majestic Barbary lion, once roaming freely in northern Africa including the Atlas Mountains, was almost wiped out due to human activities like hunting and loss of habitat, with the last individual killed in 1942.
  • Fewer than 200 Barbary lions remain in captivity, and experts plan to discuss potential reintroduction to Morocco's national parks, though it faces obstacles like ensuring protection and prey population.
