Itouzu no Mori Park in Kitakyushu welcomed a new lion, a 7-year-old female named Koma, from African Safari in Usa City, Oita Prefecture. Koma, known for her timid and gentle demeanor, arrived on December 17 and is currently acclimating to her new environment. She replaces the previous female lion, Rai, who passed away in July.
The park now has two lions on display again, with public viewing set to begin once Koma adjusts. Staff expressed hope for community support as Koma settles in. Source: Itouzu no Mori Park
