The cutest little lion cubs🦁🥰

In the early morning glow, the dam inflow is the playground for four little lion cubs. Their fur shines as they romp around, kicking up sand and playing like kids. They chase each other, tumbling and wrestling in the soft sand, excited to start their journey.

Very special to see these little ones, with only about three to four months they are still very fragile. A lioness usually gives birth to between two and four cubs. Litter sizes of up to six cubs have been recorded. When it is time to give birth the lioness will move away from the pride to hide in the dens bush. This is a tricky time for her since she doesn't have the protection of the pride during that time. She will leave the cubs in the dense vegetation to hunt and will come back immediately after. During the hunt the cubs keep still and hide away from potential danger. Which is not always successful, about 50% of the cubs do not make it to adulthood.
