The Detroit Zoo's Lions are showing their support for the Detroit Lions as they get set to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a game that could send them to the NFC Championship for the first time since 1991. In a video released by the Zoo, two of the mighty felines can be seen tearing into a Buccaneers-branded football toy during what was described as an "enrichment activity." These big cats are clearly fans, and they had no mercy on the Tampa Bay merchandise.
It was CBS Detroit that captured the zoo's lions amid their pre-game festivities. The social media video has garnered an enthusiastic response, with fans seeing it as a symbol of the local support for their football team. Meanwhile, as recorded by Essentially Sports, the Detroit Zoo had posted the video with a punchy shout-out: "Beat the Bucs".
It's game day, and the Lions' den is not just on the field; it extends to the Detroit Zoo. "Hey Detroit Lions, let's beat the Bucs today!" read a caption from the Detroit Zoo's video post, as reported by Audacy's WWJ Newsradio. This Sunday confrontation is more than a football game; it's a city-wide event, with expectations of over 200,000 supporters flooding Downtown Detroit.
