Lions at South Lakes
Old 06-07-2008
I was just wondering where South Lakes got their lions from, another UK collection?, and also, are they a breeding group or an over-represented or related group?

When I was there a couple of years ago, it stated on signs around the enclsure that they were a breeding group, however if I remember rightly the male was quite young.

I think the male and two of the females came from West Midlands Safari Park and the other female was saved from a French circus and placed at South Lakes.
