Zookeepers to Lion Cub: You Won’t Be King of Anything
Zookeepers to Lion Cub: You Won’t Be King of Anything
Staff at the Zurich Zoo now regret screening Disney classic The Lion King at a recent birthday party. Since then, the zoo’s lion cub has been under the impression that he’ll one day be king of all the other animals.
“He just can’t wait,” says Anna Pars, who can’t get that stupid song out of her head.
The ego boost has caused problems with the other animals, and zookeepers are looking for ways to delicately inform the cub that he is not, in fact, royalty.

Zumba, a lion at the Raubtierpark in Subingen, Switzerland, is struggling with a bout of seasonal affective disorder – otherwise known as the winter blues. "He just gets a little sad when the park closes for the winter,“ said one source close to the situation. "He’ll cheer up again when visitors start arriving for the spring season.”
