Meet Jonathan. He's the Houston Zoo's new lion king.

Jonathan, 6, moved into the Houston Zoo in October.

He was introduced to the other lions, Lindi and Celesto last month.

The 415 pound which has a gorgeous dark mane was moved to the Bayou City after spending 2 years at the Rocky Mountain Wildlife Conservation Center, a big cat sanctuary near Denver, Colorado.

Before moving to Colorado, officials said Jonathan was the pet of a private owner in Washington State.
