DALLAS, Texas (WBAP/KLIF News) — For the first time in more than 40 years a lion cub has been born at the Dallas Zoo.
Wednesday the zoo announced that a female cub named Bahati Moja, which is Swahili for “Lucky One”, was born on St. Patrick’s Day to parents Lina and Kamau. A year earlier Lina went into labor with two cubs that were stillborn.
Bahati was delivered by C-section, weighing in at 2.8 pounds. She is the first lion cub born in Dallas since November 1973.
The cub will be allowed to bond with her mother before being released into the lion habitat.
