Woodland Park Zoo’s only male lion, Xerxes, had to be euthanized due to kidney failure, the zoo announced Thursday.
“While we were waiting for test results, signs of kidney disease in our geriatric lion were becoming more apparent,” said Dr. Rob Browning, associate veterinarian at Woodland Park Zoo. “His appetite had improved, and he was brighter.
