🐾 Lion & Cub

Watch the video and meet Lion & Cub!

🐣

A baby lion is called a cub! Cubs are born with soft fluffy fur and faint little spots, hidden safely in a cozy den.

🏡

Lions live on the African savanna — wide, grassy plains with scattered trees and warm sunshine almost every day!

🥛

Lion cubs drink their mama's milk when they are tiny. When they grow bigger, the pride shares meat like zebra and wildebeest.

💛

Mama lioness licks her cub all over to keep it clean, warm, and safe. She carries her cub gently in her mouth when moving to a new den!

🌱

Cubs learn to hunt by watching their mama and practicing by pouncing on siblings and their mother's swishing tail!

⭐

A lion's roar is SO loud it can be heard five miles away — that's like roaring all the way across your whole town!
