Keepers celebrate Tullulah the African lioness' 18th birthday

There's excitement at the Park this weekend as it's Tullulah's 18th birthday on Saturday 26th March!

Described by her keepers as being strong-willed, Tullulah was born at the Park in 2004 and is the oldest lion in the nine-strong Woburn pride.

Today she has been treated to her very own presents from her keepers, which she kindly shared with the rest of the pride once she was finished investigating them. 

When Tullulah isn't keeping the younger lions in their place, or investigating the array of enrichment that the keepers provide for the pride, she can often be seen soaking up the sun alongside the other older females of the pride, Abi and Dakota.

After Tullulah had finished shredding the boxes she wanted, the younger juveniles decided it was time for them to join in with the fun!

The lions can be seen in their drive-through home in Kingdom of the Carnivores.
