March 24, 2026 (San Pasqual)  --  The lion pride at the Safari Park just got a little louder as Bo, Zuri, Amira, and Malika are together on habitat for the first time. For the past several years, the Safari Park has had only lionesses on display, but now the pride has a new lion king with the addition of Bo, a young male lion.

Just as they would in native habitats, these lions are establishing relationships, sharing space in different ways, and communicating through roars, body language, and even subtle gestures. From peaceful moments together to bursts of playful antics, this pride is discovering its own rhythm and social dynamic.
