The Forgotten Johor Zoo, Johor Bahru (Part 2)

By step up the stairs, I'm visited the African Lion cage. I was excited, because it's the whole Lion family! And I love the Lion's roar!

That is about 4 meters height from the place I stand to the Lion's cage.


The Happy Lion Family

The daddy...(Male lion)

The Female lioness - look at the sharp teeth!

The lion (Panthera leo) is a member of the family Felidae and one of four big cats in the genus Panthera. With some males exceeding 250 kg (550 lb) in weight,[4] it is the second-largest living cat after the tiger. Click for more.

The leg of the male lion

I was standing by the cage to enjoy the 'Roar' of the male lion for almost 30 minutes. I wonder why it's keep on roar....after a while, I understand what it need!! It's Horny! Haha!

I'm appreciates I be able to caught it! But it's chased away all the girls beside the cage! Haha!

After 1 hour at the Lion cage, I continue to walk around...

The environment is calm at relax within the Zoo. Hopefully somebody will improve the maintenance and make it a Better Zoo of Johor.

The roof of this hut was dangerous! It might hurt the visitors if it fall...
