Those of you who have been following this story can check out a video on the CNN website. It has some cute footage of Koza playing with Cairo, his puppy buddy.

I thought that's who that was! I saw it while reading the news at work, but couldn't run the video there, will try it at home!

I went to the San Diego Zoo site and saw your article and the clip- I think you have the best job in the world! One question- as Koza gets older, will Cairo still be his companion?

Ha! that is so awesome! Just watched the video, good stuff!

Murraysmom, Cairo & Koza will stay together until Koza is large enough to be introduced to other lions. In the meantime, both critters are teaching each other some social skills. Cairo has an excellent home waiting for her with a member of our mammal department staff. The puppy gets regular walks around the park, to give her a break from the giant kitty.
