Two rare Asiatic lions, Nilay and Shanti, have arrived at Chester Zoo, marking a significant step in protecting these endangered species. The pair, carefully chosen for their genetic diversity, have formed an instant connection and are hopeful to produce offspring, contributing to the survival of their species. The zoos specially designed habitat mimics their natural environment in Indias Gir Forest.
