Zoo staff bottle feed lion cubs after mother rejects them

The cubs are routinely separated from their mother after birth in order to get them acclimated to their handlers and also to keep better eye on their growth and development.

A lion cub whose twin had recently died. The zoo that he was born in separates the cubs born there from their mother and hand-raises them until they are old enough to be reintroduced into the pride.

Lions are kings of the beasts, but when they're little, they're kings of playing and napping.

Spend your seguinte 29 minutos with them wherever you are! The one-month-old lion cubs and mother, Adia, play, nurse, lick, bite, lick, frolic, get licked some more, and fog the lens of a video camera stationed at floor height in their heated antro, den room.
