Reporting Date: 26.10.2012
Lioness can have upto four cubs after a gestation period of close to 100 days. Ranger Peter and his guests came across a lioness and two three month old cubs with a fresh wildebeest carcass. Peter's guests found it very interesting to see the mother make a small opening on the wildebeest carcass so that the cubs could feed.
