Drakenstein Lion Park is a zoological park in Drakenstein, Western Cape, South Africa. It was established in 1998 to keep lions which could not be rehabilitated into the wilderness, and was meant to replace the now-defunct Tygerberg Zoo, which housed possible descendants of the Cape lion, amongst other animals. Other animals included chimpanzees and tigers, including from Novosibirsk Zoo, from where Tygerberg's director John Spence managed to obtain his lions. (with 2-minute video of cubs at zoo with John Spence, 3 sound-bites, and 15 photos)
