Lion Cub 2018

After birth, lion babies have a sand-coloured fur coat with dark, circular spots. 

They are well camouflaged in the savannah. Within the first four to six weeks, they remain in a den. At the age of three months, they are strong enough to follow their mother wherever she goes.

Fun fact

At the age of one year, young lions can roar.
