LANSING, Mich. — A lioness that has called Potter Park Zoo home for more than a decade has passed away.
The zoo posted on Facebook on Friday announcing the passing of 19-year-old African lioness Ulana.
They say for the last year and a half the lioness was going through treatment for spinal disease...But her condition had worsened in recent weeks.
She was humanely euthanized this past Thursday.
Ulana is described as a symbol of grace and strength.
She surpassed the median life expectancy of 16.9 years for lions.
But most importantly she was family to everyone in the potter park zoo community.
