Adopt an African Lion
You can help conserve the African lion
Meet Brutus and his brother Titus, the African lions! Born in February 2016, these two grew up together at Utah's Hogle Zoo before joining us at Brookfield Zoo Chicago in March 2020. They've been winning hearts ever since they made their debut on Big Cat Walkway, and can often be seen cuddling and napping, or heard making their unique “chuffing” sound, which can be heard up to five miles away!
Brutus and Titus are wonderful ambassadors for their species, which is considered “vulnerable” on the IUCN Red List. Want to help make a difference? Adopt Brutus or Titus and support lion conservation at the Zoo and worldwide!

Brutus
Born in February 2016, Brutus and his brother, Titus, reside along Big Cat Walkway. One way to tell him apart from his brother is that Brutus has more visible black spots on his nose!
Interested in adopting Titus? Online purchasing for adopts will be rolled out soon!
In the meantime, please call 708-688-8341 from 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. to symbolically adopt.
