  • Beautiful lion cubs from the Sark pride! ✨ Here are five interesting facts about lion cubs you may not know:

1. **Born Blind and Helpless**: Lion cubs are born blind and helpless. They rely completely on their mother for warmth, food, and protection during the first few weeks of life.

2. **Spots for Camouflage**: At birth, lion cubs have spots on their fur that help them blend into their environment. These spots fade as they grow older, typically disappearing by the time they are around 3-6 months old.

3. **Mothers Care for the Cubs**: Female lions are the primary caregivers for their cubs. They keep the cubs hidden in dense vegetation or caves to protect them from predators, particularly during the first few weeks.

4. **Play is Important**: Lion cubs engage in a lot of playful behavior, such as mock hunting and wrestling with siblings. This helps them develop important skills needed for survival, including coordination and social behaviors.

5. **Cubs Stay With the Pride**: Lion cubs remain with their mothers for a long period, usually 2-3 years, depending on their survival and the pride’s structure. This time allows them to learn important social behaviors and hunting techniques.
