Lion Cubs Simba and Suri Moved to Open Enclosure at Thiruvananthapuram Zoo
Simba and Suri, seven-month-old lion cubs at Thiruvananthapuram zoo, were moved to an open enclosure for public viewing ahead of Onam. Born on January 20 to parents Nayla and Leo, the cubs were rejected by their mother and hand-reared by zoo staff, receiving constant care including feeding and medical attention. Their shift to the exhibition enclosure marks a new phase as they become a key attraction. Nayla and Leo remain nearby in a separate enclosure.
