The female African lion had been diagnosed at the end of 2018 and subsequently underwent 15 weeks of chemotherapy. Her follow-up exams seemed normal and the mass on her neck had disappeared, boding well for Bakari.<\/p>\n<p>However, Bakari&#8217;s health took a sudden and quick turn for the worse and John Ball Zoo announced her passing on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pg\/JBZoo\/posts\/?ref=page_internal\">Facebook<\/a> on April 2nd. They believe the cancer returned with a vengeance before veterinarians could help her again, but a final confirmation still needs to be conducted. Staff praised the work of the veterinary and animal care teams who worked on Bakari during the whole process.<\/p>\n<p>Bakari and her sister, Abena, joined the John Ball Zoo in 2008 after being born\u00a0at the San Diego Wild Animal Park in 2006. They were a favorite of zoo-goers and staff due to Bakari&#8217;s love of interaction with guests and Abena&#8217;s vocalness. The zoo stated their good behavior and temperament made them exceptional ambassadors for their species and Bakari won&#8217;t be forgotten. African lions tend to live between 10\u201314 years.<\/p>\n<p>READ MORE ZOO NEWS<\/p>\n<p><a
