Tree Full of Cubs
Category: Lions | Date: Feb 14 2009 | By: ewasolions
Hello all!
I am so sorry for not writing in a few weeks. We have been super busy here in Samburu and it has been non-stop for us. I have much to report on, but first wanted to share with you some images taken last week of the 5 Samburu cubs in a tree.
I had a great sighting of them. They played, slept, jumped, watched and generally just hung out in this dead Acacia tree. 3 of the cubs are Nabo’s and 2 of the little ones are Nashipai’s. All cubs are healthy and doing really well.
The river is totally dry and all prey are congregated along the river. This is good news for the lions as they wait and ambush their prey almost daily. However, it is not great news for the rest of the animals and also the people and their livestock.
I also have some great news to share with you, and will write about this soon! In the meantime, I hope you enjoy the images below of the cubs from the Koitogor Pride in Samburu.

Hi Sauwah,
Yes sorry for my absence but you will hear from me a bit more regularly now.
The cubs are definitely really cute. We managed to sex them a few weeks ago and 3 are females and 2 are males.
More good news to follow shortly in my next blog!
