The first lion cubs born at the Johannesburg Zoo in ten years go walkabout under the watchful eyes of their mother.


For the first time in 10 years, the Johannesburg Zoo had little lions born on the premises.

The two cubs, Bula and Bontle, are now five months old and cavorted with their mother in their new enclosure yesterday.

A mother’s patience knows no bounds, even with little claws coming out.

While the little ones have eyes only for Mom, she keeps a sharp lookout.
