The nature of lions is such that they need company, they like to live in a pack. Our Zika, the golden lion from the Zoo in Skopje from Belgrade arrived in 2011. He was only two years old then. A month ago, Zika met Tahama and quickly accepted the new "roommate" and life companion.

- I was very surprised when I gave them the first meal. Zika was almost taught to eat alone, I wondered how he would react and left it to chance. First I gave him some meat, he ate it, then I threw some more meat so that it would be Tahama's meal. Zika started to eat the piece, but at the same moment he remembered and gave it to his partner in a gentlemanly manner - he tells about Free Press ZOO keeper Aleksandar Madzovski.

As you might have guessed from the previous episode, the white and golden lions live in separate habitats. It is due to genetics, but it is interesting that our Zika contains a gene, due to which a white lion cub can emerge from its litter, explains Madzovski.
