Simba, a majestic lion, ruled over his enclosure with grace and authority. Born in captivity, Simba had a deep bond with his pride, consisting of two lionesses and their cubs. The zookeepers often described him as a “gentle king,” as he displayed affection toward his family and rarely showed aggression. One memorable event occurred during a summer heatwave when zookeepers introduced a large water feature in Simba’s enclosure. To everyone’s surprise, Simba, known for his stoic demeanor, began playfully splashing in the water with his cubs. The rare sight of the “King of Beasts” frolicking like a kitten became a highlight of the zoo’s summer season, emphasizing the importance of providing enrichment for captive animals.
