The Greater Vancouver Zoo announced the death of its 18-year-old African lion, Boomer, on Wednesday, April 8.
The zoo said Boomer experienced a “rapid decline in his quality of life” in the days leading up to a euthanization decision due to end-stage renal disease.
He had been receiving treatment for the condition since last year.
Boomer was found as a young cub near a highway in Quebec and was first placed at the Granby Zoo before arriving to Aldergrove’s Greater Vancouver Zoo
