BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — The Buffalo Zoo announced that its three-year-old male lion named Khari will be leaving the zoo to join a new pride.
The zoo said Khari's departure from the zoo is based on a recommendation from The Association of Zoos and Aquariums(AZA), Species Survival Plan (SSP).
The announcement was made in a Facebook post, which also said:
"Over the past few weeks, our animal care team has been working with Khari to prepare him for his journey. While we are not yet ready to let the public know his new home, we do encourage everyone to come say their goodbyes over the next few days. We will be sure to let everyone know once he has safely settled into his next zoo."
