Start your Tuesday off on the right paw with some wholesome good news . Singapore Zoo has recently welcomed a newborn lion cub, first of its kind to be born via assisted reproduction, onto zoo grounds!
Say hi to Simba! Simba's adorable eyes are said to be from his dad, Mufasa, who wasn’t able to find a mate due to his aggressive nature. His birth story is a fascinating one – involving science. Simba was born as a result of an artificial insemination conducted by the Wildlife Reserves Singapore in their efforts to preserve the lion count in the Lion Island.
Cuteness overload aside, could this be the future of preserving and sustaining wildlife in Singapore?
