We found out about this Lion Habitat that is in Henderson. They have lion cubs who were having their first birthday. We decided it would be fun to take Daniel to see the lions because he loves lions so much and is always roaring. He was roaring and growling his way through the park, it was super cute!
It was really cool to be this close to lions. Often when you go to the zoo the lions are all sleeping or they are hiding in the corners so you never really get to see them. These guys were just behind fences about 3 feet away from us! It was almost like you could reach out and touch them. They looked so soft. We got to see the cubs too but surprisingly at one year old they don't look like babies anymore, these guys grow fast! I'm glad we went at this time of year though. They have little air conditioned houses for each lion that they turn on once it hits 90 and they said once that happens they pretty much live in those houses most of the day and I don't blame them one bit. We also found out that the lions they have here are part of the blood line of the original MGM lion...you know the one roaring at the beginning of movies. We thought that was pretty cool!
