Adelaide Zoo euthanized its oldest lions, Amani and Mujambi, on October 10 due to Amani's declining welfare after Mujambi's medical episode.

Adelaide Zoo has euthanized its oldest lioness, Amani, 23, and her partner, Mujambi, 19, on October 10. This decision followed Mujambi's medical episode, as staff determined Amani's welfare would decline if she remained alone. Both lions, who lived well beyond their typical lifespans, had a close bond since 2008. The zoo is inviting the community to honor their memory through an online tribute.
