African Lion (Panthera leo)

The "Pride of Blackpool" comprises four adult African lions, including the male, Wallace and females, Gillian, Rachel and Jasmine. In April, 2009, Gillian gave birth to Blackpool's first cubs in 25 years when Luna, Kimya and Nikita, all females, were born (now at Longleat to join their breeding program). Lions are one of the laziest cat species, spending up to 20 hours a day sleeping and resting. The lions' roar can be heard right across the park.
