3 new lion cubs together with their family - Zoo Antwerpen (B) - zoovenirs (28)

On 29 August 2022, lioness Tasa gave birth to 3 new cubs. That same day, lion Nestor, father of these cubs and the 3 youngsters of last year, got a treat for his 10th birthday. He himself was also born at Zoo Antwerpen.
During the first weeks, the new cubs stayed inside with their mother. They soon could be spotted in their own secure outdoor enclosure. Later on, the cubs and mama Tasa were allowed in the big enclosure. And on 7 November the whole lion family was reunited. Mama Tasa was still protective! But the next day, it went all rather relaxed, as you can see in the clips that l recorded that day. Older siblings Whisker, Waka and Winta enjoy playing with the cubs already.
2022 is the year of the X to name newborn animals. The boy lion cub is called Xesar, his 2 sisters Xabi and Xira. The public could vote for their favourite names on Instagram and Facebook.
