Hubert and Kalisa, 21-Year-Old African Lion Couple of LA Zoo Euthanized Due to Age-Related Illnesses, Check Old Pics of The Power Couple That Shows Their Forever Love

Hubert and Kalisa, an iconic lion pair that lived in LA zoo over two decades have been finally laid to rest following their health problems. The 21-year-old lion couple from LA zoo were euthanized due to declining health and suffering age-related problems. It was a difficult decision for euthanising both the African lions but they were an inseparable couple and it had to be done. The two definitely lived a long life and had made a mark on some of the visitors over the years. People have taken to Twitter to mourn the loss as some share the pictures and videos of this lovable couple from the LA zoo. STUNNING! 20 Lions Drink Water Together at River in South Africa's Mala Mala Game Reserve, Spectacular Sight Caught on Camera!

As per the statement of LA Zoo Alisa Behar, the curator said, "This is a very hard loss for our Zoo community." The lion Hubert was born in Lincoln Park Zoo in 1999. He met with Kalisa at the Woodland Park Zoo. The pair were moved to the L.A. Zoo in 2014 and became a pride of the place. Hubert and Kalisa were together for years but what's also amusing is this lion couple never produced any cubs together. Hubert in his lifetime fathered 10 cubs. But the couple always cuddled and muzzled together. "You cannot think of Hubert without thinking of his companion, Kalisa; they’ve been an inseparable couple for years," Behar said.

The set of pictures shared by the LA zoo on their tribute show how much the two lions loved each other and were constantly by each other's side. The two have even departed together as they crossed the rainbow on Thursday. A normal lion's expectancy is around 17 years, so these two definitely lived a long life and made a place in the hearts of many visitors. RIP, Hubert and Kalisa!
