Two lion cubs arrived at the Shoushan Zoo/壽山動物園喜迎小獅王

　The Shoushan Zoo is having new guests again! After flying for more than thirty hours, the brother-sister pair of lion cubs from South Africa finally arrived at Kaohsiung on the early morning of March 21. They are expected to meet the public at the end of May when the quarantine is completed.

　The two lion cubs are first rare wild animals the Shoushan Zoo got from a foreign zoo. Witnessed by Mayor Hsieh and the mayor of Pretoria, the Shoushan Zoo signed a bilateral cooperative agreement with the National Zoological Gardens in March last year. After that, through constant contact and effort for the whole year, the National Zoological Gardens agreed to present the Shoushan Zoo with a pair of lion cubs for display and educational purposes.

　　壽山動物園又有新嬌客！來自南非普利托里亞國家動物園的一對小獅王兄妹，在歷經30多個小時的長途飛行，於3月21日清晨抵達高雄，經過一個多月的隔離檢疫，預計在五月下旬和市民朋友見面。

　　這是壽山動物園首度自國外的動物園獲贈珍貴稀有的野生動物。去年3月間在謝市長以及普利托里亞市市長的見證下，雙方簽署雙邊交流協議，歷經一年的連繫及努力，南非同意贈送一對幼獅做為教育展示之用。
