New African Lion Cub at Santa Barbara Zoo
The wonderful news from Santa Barbara Zoo arrived in early November: An African lion cub had been born to first-time parents Felicia and Ralph on Nov. 5, 2020.
But new concerns soon developed. "On November 19, the cub became critically ill as she was not getting enough milk from her mother (and became hypothermic and hypoglycemic)," the zoo shared in a statement.
"So the Zoo's animal care team made the decision to move her to the veterinary hospital for intensive care, where she has been in the incubator, receiving fluid therapy, and has been learning to nurse formula from a bottle."
And here's the happy follow-up: The baby is doing well now. The little girl even has a new name: Pauline.
Santa Barbara Zoo Pauline "... is the first cub for both Felicia (two years old) and Ralph (five years old), who arrived at the Zoo this past May. The Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) recommended the pairing of Felicia and Ralph as part of its Species Survival Plan to maintain a sustainable population of lions in North America. As part of the AZA’s cooperative breeding program, the Zoo started the planning process to bring in new lions even before the passing of longtime beloved lion, Chadwick, in December of 2019."
