In the Novosibirsk Zoo, the lion Richard and the lioness Naitria were placed in the same enclosure
Before that, they lived next door to each other for three months.
According to the zoo, it took Richard and Naytria more than three months to bond for the first time. At first, the lion and lioness lived next door to each other and could see and hear each other.
But now they have been placed in the same space so that they can get to know each other better.
"Of course, the moment when the lion and lioness get closer is an exciting moment. They grumbled at each other a little, but quickly calmed down and showed agreement with the new conditions," the Novosibirsk Zoo reported.
The lions have been living together for a week now. Zoologists note that there is no conflict between Richard and Naitria, but they are currently keeping their distance. Experts are confident that over time the animals will find a common language and become closer to each other.
