Saving the endangered lions
About two years ago, seven lion cubs made their debut at the National Zoo. They were an extraordinary reminder of the unique beauty and almost majestic quality of wild animals. Unfortunately, as was made clear in the Dec. 5 news story "Study says lion population is down to 32,000 in Africa," it's increasingly likely that the best place to see litters of lions will be a zoo.
