A pair of lion and lioness was brought to the Van Vihar National Park here on Thursday from Chhattisgarhs Kanan Pendari Zoological Park.
Lion Satya and Lioness Nandi, both aged around four years, reached Bhopals Van Vihar National Park from Bilaspur- based Kanan Pendari Zoological Park, said an officer of the Madhya Pradesh government's Public Relations Department.
