Moncton, New Brunswick -- A lioness in a Canadian zoo in New Brunswick will be moved after attacking a juvenile male who didn't understand her needs while she was in heat, the zoo says.
A spokesman for the Magnetic Hill Zoo in Moncton told the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. 11-year-old Kito apparently didn't get over the death of her first male mate in January.
The zoo brought in two cubs, a male and a female, after the lion's death as companions. The male, named Azizi, wasn't sexually mature, although Kito didn't seem to understand each time she went into mating estrus, Bruce Dougan, general manager of the zoo told the CBC.
