Just for clarity, the reason they were making the lion do all those motions that seem to look like tricks is actually the veterinarian doing a visual check on the lions paws, throat, teeth, and underbelly. It is better than sedation and he gets a snack. However I would agree that a zoo is no place for a magnificant creature like this.

Valid points. But I have such positive memories as a child of my local Zoo in Rotterdam, during the 1950's and 60's.It was all the entertainment we had.Thankfully that Zoo has been upgraded with demands of the changing times. Although it seems such regal creatures don't belong in a zoo, it seems they haven't such a bad time in this particular zoo. It's sadly indeed a rather different story in many other zoos around the world , where these animals are treated like shit.

I agree they are majestic, amazing creatures which we have no right to OWN. Sadly that being said, when lions or any other wild animal are raised in captivity they can't possibly be released into the wild. The major zoos in the US such as San Diego, Portland, DC, Columbus take AMAZING care of these animals and love them like they were their children, which could only continue to happen with donations and zoo visitors paying for their care and food everyday. Teaching kids about these animals in zoos is also very important because from an early age they learn to love and respect them. Lastly and by far the most sad part is most of these animals are much safer in zoos due to how EVIL the poachers are until the various African governments can get that under control I really don't see any good solution sadly :-(

In fact, this statement (except for the compliments,) is completely misguided. If this lion were released into the wild, he would likely be dead in less than a month due to never learning hunting skills or having a pride to hunt with. He is not caged, he has a plenty big space as the Oregon zoo is AZA accredited and therefore must follow their guidelines. Along with this, many species of animals (Lions included) actually have longer lifespans in captivity! Look it up.

So beautiful. Belongs in his natural habitat!

lions aren't native to jungles, so that title of "king of the jungle" is wrong

You are wrong! Lions are the king of plains. Tigers are the real king of the jungle because they live in forest. Tigers hunt alone, raise their cubs alone, they can swim and they can hunt under water. Lions live with pride in a flat footed land in Africa with a very few trees. They hunt with groups and they don't like waters.

BlazeBullet​​​ If you did deeper research on lion you'd know that there are cold climate rainforest lions in the Ethiopian mountains and mount Kenya where they're known for growing very large extravagant manes that extended past their belly, though they've been moved off parts of mount Kenya due to the protection of the critically endangered bongo antelope they're still found in the Ethiopian mountains. They're also in small areas of Gabon's jungle regions and in a forest area in Kenya called lake Nakuru where lions look darker and sturdier than lions in savannas, same with other forest ranges. In their non savanna ranges they're known for being in either groups of only 2 or 3 lions to even living solitary lives. The reason why you and many others do not know this is because savanna lions have gained more attention and have been shown more in popular culture plus savanna lions nowadays have a much larger population than non savanna lions, but in the past non savanna lions were very common.

Toria Vincolato​​ Regardless of what you think, there are still critically endangered populations of lions in African tropical rainforests and African cold climate rainforests plus in the past they used to be common in various rainforests from west Africa, central Africa and east Africa.

That is one powerful animal, make sure that cage is very secure.

It's never all b&w. Assuming this lion has ample space in which to move around: 1) No fighting to the death with other male lions. 2) No risk of being killed by prey with horns every time it tries to make a kill. 3)Vet care, esp. important in re rotting teeth. 4) No starving to death. I much prefer seeing lions in the wild. But there is a place for both. Zoos help preserve species and species diversity.

I want to visit this amazing zoo!!

There's a middle ground between their facing extinction in the wild or being put in zoos. There are sanctuaries that do not keep wild animals in small isolated (from their own) enclosures the way some zoos do.

most bodern zoos have bigger big cat encloutures than santuries

Those beautiful lions, how could you have the nerves to kill such absolute royalty as these. And then to have them locked up like this is insane. Or to kill them and put their heads up on a wall.

I think about our ancestors encountering similar big cat ancestors on the ancient plains......respect for the hunter gatherers.

Never mind the kids screaming...that handler’s voice is enough to drive anything mad 😉

Male lion is the most beautiful in the animal kingdom.

It’s sad to see such an awesome animal turned into a virtual circus act just to please the humans.

Lion: love you too, I do autographs, I'm here every sunday, ciao.

He is so adorable.

My first thought was "Whoa! That is WAY too much noise for those creatures." But that's actually a very clever way to give the lions a quick check up. Still too much noise though. I'd ask the people to not talk during the presentation. Less rumble on the ears, and the speaker wouldn't have to shout over them.

yeah she even asked him to open his mouth so she could check his teeth for any problems. They might be caged but if he had any problem he wouldnt survive in the wild so in some weird way, they are actually keeping him alive and away from both animal and human threats. But i agree, too much noise, should've asked the parents to try to be quiet. I understand tho, kids will be kids.

Coming here from a Kevin Richardson video was a bad idea......... the differences in circumstances for these poor lions are crazy.

jennyB07 Once you mature mentally, you will understand that encounters like the one you saw in the video, is what gets people interested in conservation. Zoo's play a huge roll in the success of animal and land preservation. And those poor Lions (as you said), are doing a great job acting as ambassadors for their species, are well feed, and I'm sure receive great medical care.

wvufb77 wow lol. You really don't have a clue do you...what a sick, arrogant, self-centred species we are, as demonstrated clearly by your comment. We really believe that we run this planet and it's our right to imprison magnificent creatures in tiny cages so that we can try to "conserve" them, when they were doing fine before our interference, stealing their habitats and killing them. The point IS, it would be better if humans had left them alone in the first place, and then we wouldn't NEED to have "encounters" with them and keep them in tiny enclosures (tiny compared to the open savannah), so that WE can decide we want to help them, because we've decimated their wild population to near extinction. They were doing just fine before we came along, living natural lives. They are top of the food chain and were a thriving species. How INSULTING to them to now have to rely on a pathetic, puny species like humans in order for them to avoid total annihilation. Yes they didn't have medical care but they were FREE as nature intended them to be. That is the most important thing. What use is medical care when you are miserable in a tiny cage 24/7..? Humans...smh. Do you think if they had a choice (that we don't give them), they would choose to be kept captive by us simply because they receive good medical care?? I'm not saying that zoos don't have a purpose, what I"m saying IS, it's a tragedy that we need zoos in the first place.

Alasska Luna Yeah, we do run this planet, how about you join reality. And to the rest of your comment it was just stupid.

Back in the eighties I watched a male lion, at the Pittsburgh, PA zoo, walk up to the fence enclosure, gave the visitors an irritated look, turned around and pissed through the fence. The piss flew several feet and many of the women screamed. The King of Beasts was not happy being stared at. No one treated him like a household pet.

Portland Zoo is amazing!

Nice setup.. Seems like he is enjoying too.. Posing like celebs on Red carpet and ramp walking like model with his partner.. Truly a celebrity.. Hope the love continues and he loves the hospitality of humans.. So that whenever he gets chance to meet his friends or children, he has only to describe good things about us..

I can't see why people don't ever understand that laughters,screamings and clappings put the poor animal under extreme stress!😠😦

I used to feel depressed as I left the zoo when I was a kid. These animals are nature's beasts taken out of their habitat to amuse people. If rather see them in the wild basking in the sun or nothing at all.

In my eyes I would rather see them in a zoo where they're happy and well looked after and alive than in the wild being hunted, killed and dead. Would you? They're absolutely happy in there and don't know of their true home but its better for them to be alive than dead and extinct, eh?

That's the thing, they are not happy. This is like prison for people with thousands of strangers yelling and teasing them behind glass or bars. Of course, if they lived in the wild, laws to protect them and their habitat would have to be upheld.

They don't know the difference between zoo and being in the whild so how can they feel sad about something they have no knowledge of? they wouldn't know what to do if you put then in the wild compared to other lions that grew up in the wild. the zoo lions would get killed very quickly by prides or they would starve cuz they wouldn't know how to hunt properly so zoo animals are better off in the zoo

Ryan Jennings I'm pretty annoyed that you said that. They're called "Wild" animals for a reason. I'm so sick of hearing people imply that wild animals are better off in captivity than in their natural habitats (which in some cases, I can agree with due to endangerment), but living behind glass walls and high risen chain fences where hordes of humans stare, bring their screaming babies, and shout obnoxiously is not natural. If they're born in that setting, of course they're not going to know what it's like to be out in the wild, but being in vast expanses of space where they get exercise, territory and no human interaction is what's best for them. Seeing a lion as a "natural" animal rot in an enclosure for the entirety of their life is not in any means 'worth seeing''.

Most zoos in the West are linked to conservation organizations and contribute to the betterment of the species they contain. They provide veterinary care, food and usually very large ranges for animals, larger than some are used to in the wild without coming into contact with a rival pack/species, or being too far away from water. Zoos in some parts are the world are disgusting and inhumane, but for the most part, Zoos in the West are doing a good job, providing a good life for many animals, contributing to the eduation of children, and helping to save so many animals from extinction.
