On Sunday, the park is celebrating the 7th birthday of two female lions, Iris and Rose. Simon, a male lion, turned seven earlier this year and will also join the festivities.

The SeaWorld & Busch Gardens Conservation Fund supports various lion protection projects in Africa, including educating native populations about how to live harmoniously with the animals.
