I have a question for you, ok? I read your blog about the 2 lioness sisters, and I thought that was very good in the way you described how these 2 girls get along. Sounds like human sisters to me! My question is this: Why are these lionesses called Transvaal lionesses, and where do these lions usually come from? I've never heard of lions having a particular species name to them. I thought that lions were pretty much from the same species line and were just called lions. Can you explain that to all of us? We will all appreciate it alot! Take care of these 2 precious girls!

I seem to be able to catch them when they are up front and awake. But I still haven't manged to witness them playing. I’ve been having good luck with the ladies lately.

These gorgeous sisters are so endearing! To be able to be with each other through old age is a blessing to them both. Made possible by all the wonderful staff of the Zoo and their dedication and love. Would that we all could go through old age so well cared for and beloved. They are truly " Golden Girls" more precious than gold itself. Bless them and all who provide their care. Blessed Be, Judy J Thank you Hali!
