In this undated photo provided by the The Rosamond Gifford Zoo, a female African Lion named Kierha is shown in her living space at the zoo in Syracuse, N.Y. Kierha, who lived most of her nearly 18 years at the upstate New York zoo, died on Sunday, Dec. 17, 2017. The zoo says the cause of death hasn't been determined, but Kierha had recently been anesthetized for examination and testing "after showing signs of health issues common to elderly female felines."
