Topeka Zoo to Celebrate World Lion Day
The Topeka Zoo and Conservation Center will observe World Lion Day on Saturday, August 2nd.
Visitors to the Topeka Zoo will have opportunities to learn about the zoos African Lions and about Africa’s wild lions living in their native ranges.
It is estimated that the population of lions across Africa have been reduced by 43% in the last fifteen years alone, a loss of almost half the world’s African lions in only three generations of lions.
World Lion Day is an opportunity for the zoo to share the stories of our own African lions as well as raise awareness of the challenges wild lion’s face, the great work being done to conserve them, and the need for conservation efforts.
World Lion Day at the Topeka Zoo will include Keeper Chats from Topeka Zoo Animal Care Staff specializing in the zoos lions at 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM, as well as a special enrichment treat for the lions at 10:00 AM. Topeka Zoo Docents will have an information booth available to talk about the worlds lions 9:00-3:00 on Monday.
Come join us for the first annual observation of World Lion Day at the Topeka Zoo and Conservation Center on Monday, August 10th, 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM.
