She who comes first…

Category: Meet the lions | Date: Oct 14 2009 | By: kilimanjarolion

Nasieku is the beautiful yellowish female lioness of the Tara pride, with broad shoulders. She is definitely the most aggressive member of the pride. She was named Nasieku, a Maasai name meaning “She who comes first”, because of the frequency in which she charges at our Lion Guardians!

With a beautiful spotted pattern which is the trade mark of this pride, Nasieku has three striking cubs who are about 7-8 months of age - 2 males and 1 female. Here she is, looking aggressive with her cubs, as usual!
