MIQ is doing a roaring trade at the moment but it is not the kind you might think. Auckland Zoo's three new lions are currently quarantining after coming here from Australia.

Twin sisters Aziza and Kibibi and their half sister Ilola have arrived about five months after the zoo was forced to put down two elderly lions because of health issues.

Warren Spencer is Auckland Zoo's Senior Curator of Mammals and joins Lisa Owen with the latest.
