Five Lion Cubs / Monarto Zoo

Monarto Zoo recently announced that it has one male and two female lion cubs, whose sex was confirmed during the cubs’ first vet check on the morning of 5 June. It was the first time Monarto Zoo staff had the opportunity to directly interact with the cubs, which were born on 24 April, to review their physical health, administer their first vaccines and determine their sex. The cubs have spent the majority of their time tucked away inside a den being cared for by their mum Tiombe with zookeepers initially keeping their distance to give the new family complete privacy during the important bonding period — via ZooBorns
