Few days back another lion video went viral on social media. The video showed two elderly African lions in Los Angeles zoo who were euthanized together having spent almost 6 years with each other. Aged 21, Hubert and Kalisa were put down by the zoo authorities due to declining health and age-related illnesses that interfered with their quality of life. In a post shared on Facebook, LA zoo announced that the animal care and health staff “made the difficult decision to humanely euthanize the lions”. Further, the post read that the adorable pair had exceeded the average life span of a zoo lion, which is from mid-teens to 17.
