The Roar Returns to the Oregon Zoo!

The Predators of the Serengeti exhibit, which opens on Sept. 12, marks the return of lions to the Oregon Zoo.

The new lion enclosure features open grassland, warm rocks, a heated den and an area where visitors can watch keepers interact with lions through a protective mesh screen.

In 1998, lions were phased out of the zoo to make room for a new exhibit, but the “Bring Back the Roar” campaign returned the king of the beasts to the zoo.
