The Oklahoma City Zoo has welcomed four new residents: a litter of tiny newborn lion cubs
The cubs were born September 26, according to a news release from the zoo. The first-time mother Dunia, a 7-year-old African lion, went into labor around 7:15 a.m., the release noted. Three of the cubs are female and one is male, according to the zoo. All four newborns and their mother are in good health, with all the babies starting to nurse within hours of their birth. The new cubs are the first to be born at the zoo in 15 years.
” “This birth is vital to the African lion population,” he continued. “We cannot wait to watch these cubs grow up and become fan favorites for years to come.” One day, the Oklahoma City Zoo’s newest residents will be massive predators capable of taking down huge prey in the wild. But for now, each cub is less than 3 pounds, the release explained. For now, the cubs will remain out of view for visitors, according to the release.
