Thanks for the update. I was wondering how I could become zoologist that works the baby animals. If that is how you say it. Iwas wondering because I love animals and would love to work with them some day when I am older I’m in sixth grade. Thanks would love to hear from you thanks.

Patricia, thanks for your comments. Many others have inquired about the possibility of a Lion Cam, like the ones that are available for the Pandas and Elephants. Unfortunately, we do not have the means to install one at Lion Camp at this time. We will do our best to post pictures as they are available. Right now, the only way to see Mina’s three cubs is to take a behind-the-scenes tour. These are offered by the Education department and require reservations. Hope this helps!

Editor’s note: For a VIP or Special Tour, please call (619) 718-3000.

Marcia,
Thank you so much for posting updates on all of the cubs! I can’t wait until they are all on exhibit! All of their personalities sound so cute, too! You do have an awesome job! I’m a freshman in high school and would like to be a zoologist and work at the zoo, too. Do you have any advice for me on how to be successful?

Nothing like a little love bite to show that you care – even if it is on your little cubbie butt ; )

Thanks for the photo of these two, Abena and Bakari. They sure are vivacious little ones romping around the lion camp. I am glad to learn that the litter of Mina is very accepting to the handling of the keepers. May they all grow to be strong and healthy!

I swear – I don’t know what I was thinking! You have the BEST job in the world – and here I am stuck in an office all day! Thank you so much for the update – it certainly was a bright spot in a rather ordinary day. I, of course, am jealous – and need to get myself over to the WAP very soon to see the babies. Congratulations, too, on such a successful breeding program – I know all of the hard work has made a huge difference – and will continue to for many, many years to come. You should all be very proud of yourselves.

Thank you, Marcia, for the great update on Mina’s cubs and explaining all of their personnalities. I can hardly wait to see them out one day soon and to learn what their names will be. Look forward to more updates on all of the cubs and their Moms and Dad….
