It’s a strange feeling looking at the cute lion cubs as they run about and explore their new home, all the while knowing a protective (if not overprotective) mother is never far away.
“Mum’s always keeping an eye on them,” zookeeper Chad Staples said.
“They’re very curious about people, so you find them doing a lot of people-watching and interacting with visitors to the zoo.
“People are just loving that!”
Born in January, Baako and Evelyn’s clubs are among the key attractions at Mogo Wildlife Park on the NSW South Coast, which is also home to gorillas, rhinoceros, giraffes, zebras, meerkats, tigers and more animals native to Australia and from far-away lands.
Like young children, two young lion cubs are finding their feet and busy exploring the world around them under the watchful eye of mum and dad.
