Lion cub trio at Addo Elephant National Park is doing well

The future looks bright and shiny for the three lion cubs born in Addo Elephant Park in the Eastern Cape, on the Garden Route.

The future looks bright and shiny for the three lion cubs born a couple of months ago in Addo Elephant Park in the Eastern Cape, on the Garden Route. "The three are the first cubs born in Addo that have survived the first few difficult months of life in the park," said park manager Lucius Moolman.

Initial observations by researchers, he said, had indicated that the four-month-old cubs may be one male and two females.

Although both lionesses in the park had produced cubs since their introduction, the previous litters had not survived, most probably due to infanticide by male lions. It is well known that male lions would kill cubs they had not fathered in order to bring the lioness back into oestrus, providing an opportunity for them to further their own genes.

Lions were first introduced to the Addo Elephant National Park in 2003 to restore the natural balance in the ecosystem of the South African National Park (SANpark).
