Take home this very special piece of the Akron Zoo, African Lion, Tamarr's model clay paw print.

Tamarr was 20 years old when he passed away in 2025, and he was the second oldest male lion in a zoo accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA). The median life expectancy for lions is 16 years, 9 months.

Tamarr was born on August 25, 2005 at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado. He moved to the Akron Zoo in 2007, which he quickly become a fan favorite and icon. He was known for his fun personality, loud roars and his beautiful mane.

"I remember when Tamarr first arrived at the Akron Zoo with just a mohawk," said Doug Piekarz, president & CEO at the Akron Zoo. "He grew into an amazing lion who captured the hearts of both staff and guests. Tamarr was a wonderful ambassador for lions and the Akron Zoo. I am grateful to our animal and vet care staff who provided Tamarr with exceptional care through the years. He will be missed by us all."
