近日，有網(wǎng)友發(fā)布視頻稱，遼寧省本溪市動植物園的一頭獅子瘦得只剩皮包骨，就像紙片一樣，引發(fā)廣泛關(guān)注。

4月14日中午，本溪市動植物園發(fā)布情況說明稱，2021年4月，雄性非洲獅“大毛”來到本溪市動植物園，入園時9歲左右，今年14歲。2025年8月6日，“大毛”配偶“盼盼”衰老死亡，喪偶后“大毛”精神壓抑萎靡，食量不斷減少。

A male lion at Benxi Zoo in Northeast China's Liaoning province has drawn public concern after recent videos showed him severely emaciated. The garden confirmed on Tuesday that the 14?year?old African lion, named Da Mao, had fallen into depression and largely stopped eating following the death of his mate Pan Pan in August 2025.

2025年12月，“大毛”開始精神沉郁，40多天幾乎不進食，飲水正常，偶爾進少量活食，身形逐漸消瘦，每日幾乎沒有任何活動。

According to the garden, Da Mao began showing signs of lethargy in December 2025. For over 40 days, he barely ate while continuing to drink water normally. His weight dropped sharply, and he remained mostly inactive.

lethargy /?leθ?rd?i/ n. 無精打采，死氣沉沉

期間，本溪市動植物園對“大毛”進行全力醫(yī)治照護，經(jīng)過持續(xù)治療調(diào)養(yǎng)，2026年2月末“大毛”慢慢恢復(fù)正常飲食，肉量逐步增加。目前，每日進食牛肉、雞肉達5公斤左右，進入恢復(fù)階段，其體力、活力、體重開始逐步恢復(fù)好轉(zhuǎn)，特別是最近天氣回溫，“大毛”開始到室外籠舍活動曬太陽，并接納新伴侶雌性非洲獅“豆豆”。

Veterinary staff provided intensive treatment. By the end of February 2026, Da Mao gradually resumed eating. He now consumes about five kilograms of beef and chicken daily and is regaining strength, energy, and weight. As spring temperatures rise, he has started venturing into his outdoor enclosure to sunbathe and has been introduced to a new female companion named Dou Dou.

4月14日中午，本溪市動植物園還發(fā)布了有關(guān)“大毛”的最新視頻，顯示經(jīng)過四十多天的治療，近一個月來，“大毛”的食量基本達到了正常量。

A video released by the garden on Tuesday shows Da Mao's food intake has returned to near normal levels over the past month.

據(jù)“文旅本溪”2022年7月的介紹，本溪市動植物園是國家AAA級旅游景區(qū)，是集科普教育、動植物觀光、森林氧浴等多功能的大型游園，是遼寧省當時占地面積最大的籠養(yǎng)與散養(yǎng)相結(jié)合的城市專類動物園。
