For this week’s “Lion Keeper’s Blog”, I wanted to do things a little differently. They say a picture is worth a thousand words… so what does that make a gif worth? A million? Sure, let’s go with a million. In that case, this will be my longest blog post ever. 🙂 Here’s a quick recap of the cubs’ first 6 weeks of life and all the amazing things they’re learning as they grow into real lions. klion Everyone knows the cubs are cute. close up cub 1 I mean, just look at that face?! How can you not fall in love? But there’s a lot more to becoming a lion than just being cute. It’s actually a lot of hard, exhausting work! no more pictures The cubs have a pretty massive skill-set to hone before they are considered the “King of Beasts”. The cubs spend a lot of time watching momma, Imani, to learn all the essentials of becoming a proper lion.

The domestic yak (Bos grunniens), also known as the Tartary ox, grunting ox[1] or hairy cattle[2] is a species of long-haired domesticated cattle found throughout the Himalayan region of the Indian subcontinent, the Tibetan Plateau, Northern Myanmar, Yunnan, Sichuan Gilgit-Baltistan Pakistan and as far north as Mongolia and Siberia. It is descended from the wild yak (Bos mutus).
