According to an article from the February 01, 1903 issue of the New York Times, Sultan and a female named Bedouin Maid were gifts to the zoo from Nelson Robinson. “Sultan,” the article states, “is four years old and is considered to be as handsome and perfect a specimen as ever trod a cage floor. He is also unusually good tempered.” from Sultan: A King Among Lions by Vicki Croke, WBUR's The Wild Life, February 17, 2016
