Updated: September 12, 2011
The lion cubs at the Abilene Zoo will soon be leaving.

The five cubs were born over a year ago at the zoo, but are part of a species conservation program.

The two female cubs that are on exhibit at the Abilene Zoo will head to Florida to live in the Animal Kingdom Theme Park likely within the next month.

The three male lions that have been off exhibit for several months now will also eventually leave the zoo, but it's not clear where they will go.
