Lion cubs: a protected youth at the heart of the family group

Discover the fascinating life of lion cubs, these young kings of the savannah, who grow up under the watchful protection of their mother and their group. From the moment they are born, they embody the survival and cooperation that reign in the life of lions.

Main features:

• A hidden start to life: After a four-month gestation, the lioness gives birth to one to four cubs, weighing between 1.1 and 1.37 kg. These cubs are born blind and remain in a secure hiding place where their mother nurses them for about six weeks.
• A challenging environment: Lion cubs, often left alone in the hide while their mother hunts, face many dangers, including hyenas and other predators.
• Integration into the group: At three to four weeks of age, the lioness brings them into the family group where they mingle with the other lion cubs. From then on, the cubs suckle not only their mother, but also the other lionesses, emphasizing the spirit of cooperation between the females.
• A long apprenticeship: Weaned at around six months, the lion cubs stay with their mother until around two years to learn the behaviors necessary for their survival.

This realistic figurine allows children to immerse themselves in the captivating life of young lions, discovering their development and their place in the family.
