2 litters of 3 lion cubs each were born in April and May this year. We saw them when they were between a month and 2 months old, but then didn't seen them again until this weekend.

We are happy to report that 6 months later all 6 cubs have survived the winter and are looking nice and healthy - quite suprising since lion cubs only have about a 40% chance of survival I think. They still have a while to go before they're out of the woods though - I think they need to be about 2 years before they're independent enough to fend for themselves.

We spent about half an hour with all 6 and the 2 mothers lying on the road, being playful and feeding before they headed off into the bush. They greet each other constantly by rubbing heads together - real show of affection :)
