These adorable cubs, yet to be named, have been melting hearts with their playful antics since their arrival last November. At 14 weeks old, their distinct personalities are already shining through.

According to their zookeeper Chad Staples, one cub with darker spots shows independence, while the lighter prefers sticking close to mom.

The duo’s playful nature delights visitors as they tumble, chase, and engage in roughhousing typical of young cubs. Their father, Baakū, isn’t spared from their playful nibbles on his tail.

Despite having hand-reared their half-sister, Maji, from birth, Staples is content to leave the upbringing of these new cubs to their parents, Evelyn and Baakū.

He acknowledges that the lioness can provide care far superior to human intervention, ensuring the cubs thrive under her watchful eye.
