Well, Mekita and Riley are the proud parents of four lion cubs who just celebrated their first birthday. In an age of growing concern, and international attention to the fate the biggest of the big cats, we here in North Carolina have had the gift of watching this majestic family blossom at the North Carolina Zoo in Asheboro, NC. The proud father - Riley - the mother to be proud of - Makita - and their pride - Savanna and Lololi, the girls, and brothers Khari and Kirabo.
Savanna and Lololi, Khari and Kirabo, were the first new cubs born at the Zoo since 2006 - and though little cubs no more, the excitement is not over! To celebrate their birthday, their keepers decided to through them a party. A party complete with life sized, paper-mache Red River Hog and Zebra. For the first time, the young cubs were able to experience the thrill of the hunt.
View the rest of the photographs from the birthday bash, and see the cubs in actions, at our community events gallery at GreinerStudio.com.
