Serena came to the zoo in 2012 along with another lioness, Nala, who passed in 2022.
Serena was 19 years old, which is beyond the average life expectancy for lions, according to the Zoo.
“At 19 years old, Serena lived well beyond the average life expectancy for lions and was a tremendous ambassador for her species. She will be missed by all of us at Cleveland Metroparks Zoo,” the post read.
