Information on Baby Lions
Panthers Leo is the scientific name for a lion, while "leeu" is the Afrikaans name and simba is the Swahili name for the big cat. Baby lions are called cubs. These felines are the largest carnivore in Africa and the second largest species in the cat family, according to the Predator Conservation Trust. Adult males have the characteristic mane around their necks and shoulders, with the size, color and extension varying by geographic location.
Gestation and Birth

Lion cubs gestate for approximately 110 days and are born in a litter of between one and six babies, although two to three cubs at a time is considered normal by the Predator Conservation Trust. These cats are born helpless and blind away from their pride, as their mothers typically leave to give birth in a safe place shortly before. The mother and cubs stay in isolation for four to eight weeks.
Risks Away From the Pride
Differences in Pride Responsibilities

Males are primarily responsible for the security of their pride. While they will participate in hunting, they spend the majority of their time on security patrols. They will defend their pride’s territory, which can cover up to 100 square miles. Females are primarily responsible for hunting, which typically occurs after dark. They are also the primary caregivers for lion cubs. The eating hierarchy is males first, followed by females and then cubs.
Child Rearing

Female lions have litters of one to six cubs, with the average being two to four. These cubs typically weigh 2 to 4 lbs. at birth. The females of a pride all give birth at the same time and then co-raise the pride’s cubs, including suckling one another cubs. The cubs reach independence at around two years of age. The male’s role in child rearing is primarily protection. However, because of the scarcity of food and attacks by other males, around 60 to 70 percent of all cubs die within these two years.
Difference in the Lives of Males

Unlike females, male lions leave their birth prides at between two to four years of age. They initially form groups or coalitions with other young males from their pride. During this period, the males roam and progress toward full maturity. Upon reaching maturity, they seek to establish their own prides by taking over other prides. If they are successful in ousting a pride’s males, they quickly kill all the pride’s cubs. This is done so that they can then mate and sire their own cubs. The killing is necessary because females will not mate again until their cubs reach around two years of age, and the male lion will usually remain with the pride for only two to three years before being run off himself by new male challengers.
