A NEW Video has been posted by Colchester Zoo on a potential 3,000 square metres lion habitat project.

The video comes after the zoo revealed that it is in the pre-application phase for a second lion habitat.

The development would include a nature inspired habitat, with planting areas for scrubland, mature tree cover, rocky outcrops, dens, and bodies of water to “help encourage the animal’s natural behaviours”.

In the video, the staff members outline the plan and show rendered images of the habitat and explain what its features would be.
