The wise and noble King of the Pridelands. Mufasa is a determined, honest and powerful leader with a deep love for his family and kingdom. Majestic and powerful African Lions are the only big cats that live and hunt together in social groups called prides. An extraordinary system for survival in a world full of enemies. A pride may include up to three males, a dozen or so related females and their young. Males play an important role patrolling, marking, and guarding their pride’s territory.  

Bring your pride to meet ours! Taronga’s full Lion pride including Mum, Maya, Dad, Ato and five cubs Khari, Luzuko, Malika, Zuri and Ayanna can be seen altogether in the African Savannah exhibit. 

While you’re at the Zoo, why not pay a visit to our mob of Meerkats. Meerkats live in large groups of up to 50 individuals called a mob. There’s not just safety in numbers – there’s companionship. A meerkat mob is made up of several family groups, with one dominant pair. But meerkats don’t have to be related to belong to the same group. Meerkat mobs spend a lot of their time grooming and playing together to keep the family unit tight. This existence helps meerkats survive.
