Cutest Cub at Sunrise! - a photo on Flickriver

            Most lionesses reproduce by the time they are four years of age. Lions do not mate at a specific time of year and the females are polyestrous. 
Usually, the mother does not integrate herself and her cubs back into the pride until the cubs are six to eight weeks old. Sometimes this introduction to pride life occurs earlier, particularly if other lionesses have given birth at about the same time. When first introduced to the rest of the pride, lion cubs lack confidence when confronted with adults other than their mother. They soon begin to immerse themselves in the pride life, however, playing among themselves or attempting to initiate play with the adults. 

King Morani of the "Four Musketeers" was lazing close by as his 3 cute cubs were playing with each other and pestering their mother for a feed but she was not is any mood. Photographed on an early morning game drive in Maasai Mara Game Reserve, Kenya.
