EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this heartwarming photo print, we witness a momentous occasion as four lion cubs, born to proud parents Kim and Singh on June 10th, 1971, step out onto the lush green lawn of London Zoo for the very first time. The cubs, consisting of one male named Leon and three females named Leonie, Lottie, and Liza, captivate visitors with their irresistible cuteness. Prior to this public appearance, these precious cubs had been living with their nurturing mother Kim in a cozy den within the Lion House. Kim has proven herself to be an exceptional mother over the years. This litter marks her fifth successful delivery after raising two litters of two cubs each and two litters of five cubs each. These remarkable little ones are her 17th through 20th offspring. Kim arrived at the zoo in November 1960 when she was just four months old while Singh joined her in 1961 at the age of two years. Together they have formed a strong family unit that continues to bring joy to both staff and visitors alike. This photograph by George Greenwell captures a timeless moment from the early '70s—a testament to nature's beauty and our fascination with these majestic creatures.
