FORT WAYNE, Ind. (AP) - The Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo opens for its 52nd season Saturday with a new male African lion and the return of Tasmanian devils.

Bahati, the zoo’s new male lion, replaces Bill the lion, who died last April.

WANE-TV reports (https://bit.ly/2oll9Wz ) the zoo’s new Tasmanian devils figure to be its most spunky newcomers. Zoo Director Jim Anderson said Tuesday that the Tasmanian devil brothers Milton and Mischief “are always looking for ways to surprise us.”

Tasmanian devils return to the Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo after more than a decade away.
