Oregon Zoo's Elderly Lion Dies
(Portland, OR) -- The Oregon Zoo's oldest lion has died. Zawadi Mungu was one of the oldest male lions in North America. In the wild, male lions rarely live past 12, but Zawadi turned 18 in November. He came to Oregon from San Diego in 2009 and fathered two litters of cubs. In 2014, he was the Oregon Zoo's father of the year.
