The Lion City’s First Cub by Assisted Reproduction

Thanks to advancements in assisted reproduction technology and the perseverance of vets and keepers at Singapore Zoo’s Wildlife Health and Research Centre, we’re proud to share the first-ever African lion cub conceived by assisted reproduction in the Lion City. In celebration of his heritage, the little one was named Simba, which means ‘lion’ in Swahili. Watch to find out Simba's story. *Some footage were filmed prior to the implementation of safe management measures and wearing of masks became mandatory.
