Xhosa is named for a South African tribe from the regions of Ciskei and Transkei. Xhosa was purchased by a man for his daughter but the daughter did not want a lion cub. He put a sign up in the hospital where he worked and another doctor took her from him. Xhosa was confiscated by the USDA and was brought to Shambala in February of 1997. About one year after she arrived she was introduced to Cyrus and Zoe and they have been living together ever since.
