The zoo had male lion feces shipped in and they placed it in the hall of their night quarters. The secret ingredient to spark Reilly’s interest in Mekita probably wasn’t what you’d expect: the feces of another lion. Reilly would cower in the corner of the habitat, and she wouldn’t let him move around his home for the last 12 years.” She even injured his tail with a swift bite. She would scratch up his majestic face with her claws. “He let Mekita push him around. She would steal his bone. “This time was different because Reilly didn’t care to establish his dominance,” the zoo said. It had been months since their first face-to-face meeting when the zoo decided to drop the mesh once again - and this time things went great. We were also terrified but decided the time had come to try opening the door again.” “She would approach the mesh, sniff him and then flop down on the floor rolling around in a sign of submission. “At first, Mekita was terrified but slowly warmed up to Reilly, and eventually started showing all those behaviors we were looking for in the beginning,” the zoo said. Reilly and his mate, 12-year-old Mekita, have been considered one of the zoo’s most “iconic couples” since they two became acquainted when Mekita moved in about 11 years ago. Reilly was born at Lincoln Park Zoo on February 7, 1999, and came to the Zoo on March 23, 2001. “Reilly was a one-of-a-kind soul, and his morning roars will be greatly missed.” “He was so tolerant of his rambunctious offspring and was fiercely devoted to his lady lion, Mekita,” said Zookeeper Beth Malott, who worked with Reilly for eight years. Zoo officials write that Reilly with his advanced age and weakened physical state, the animal care team and veterinarians made the quality-of-life decision to euthanize him. He was the oldest male lion in an Association of Zoos and Aquariums accredited institution. Reilly had been battling renal disease for several years, zoo officials say. (WGHP) - Reilly, the North Carolina Zoo’s 23-year-old male lion, has died, according to an announcement from the zoo.
