UPDATE: Lion Cubs Thriving at Maryland Zoo
November 23, 2013
A five-week-old brother-and-sister Lion cub duo is thriving under the care of zoo keepers at the Maryland Zoo.
ZooBorns introduced the cubs a few weeks ago. Their mother died unexpectedly just few days after giving birth but thanks to round-the-clock care from the zoo staff, the cubs are in excellent health and are becoming more playful every day. The cubs’ teeth are starting to come in, and keepers have started to introduce meat into their daily diet.

The cubs are not on public display yet, but the zoo expects to hold a naming contest for the cubs soon.
