Dublin Zoo: Kushanu forms strong bond with female lion

The Asian lion is classified as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).

It is estimated that there are about 500 to 600 left in the wild, as habitat loss and poaching continues to threaten their survival.

A spokesperson for Dublin Zoo said Asian lions currently live in just one place in the wild, the Gir National Park and Sanctuary in India, which means they are vulnerable to unexpected events in the area, such as natural disasters or diseases.

Another threat is conflict with farmers when lions come onto their lands.
