When it is time to give birth a lioness leaves her pride and has her lion babies in dense cover.
A female lion mother will move her new cubs to a safe den.
The cub gets picked up by the scruff of the neck.
The cub instinctively will relax its muscles and allow the mother to move it .
Baby lions remain hidden for one to two months before being introduced to the rest of the pride.
What do lions eat?
The lion babies start to eat meat at about three months and are weaned at about six months
Because lions are carnivores, they will eventually only eat meat as they grow up.
They are known as apex predators which means they are at the top of the food chain.
Female lions stay within the pride all their lives but male lions either leave of their own accord or are driven off by the pride males at two to three years of age.
Lion cubs spend most of their day playing which is serious business for baby lions.
Lion cubs play by stalking each other, playing hide and seek and wrestling with each other.
With this they develop vital skills that they will use later in life when they have to hunt for themselves.
African male lions generally play no paternal role when it comes to provisioning of food to the cubs.
After two years lion cubs will be driven away from the pride by their father. While this may seem cruel, this is very important instinct which cause the father to do away with competition.
This action prevents inbreeding in the pride.
The responsibility for training them to hunt is also that of the mother.
Male lions will however protect lion babies from danger.
When do the cubs start hunting by themselves?
Lion babies stay with their mothers for about two years, by which stage they have joined the pride's hunting trips.
After one to two years of nomadic life these young males drive out the resident males of a pride and take over the females.
If a small group of males leave together they are able to hunt as a group and stand a better chance of being able to take over a pride.
Females prefer their pride to have a large male coalition because it reduces the number of cubs lost to infanticide at take-overs.
The displaced male lions seldom live long since they no longer have lionesses to hunt for them.
Lionesses prefer their pride to be controlled by a large coalition of males whose strength in numbers will give them a longer tenure.
Are white lion cubs albinos?
White lion cubs are not albinos. True albino lions have no colour pigmentation at all.
White lion cubs simply lack the darker pigmentation due to a rare condition that results in reduced pigmentation.

baby elephant is called a calf. It weighs about 250 pounds at birth and stands about three feet tall. Calves cant see very well at first, but they can recognize their mothers by touch, scent, and sound.
Baby elephants stay very close to their mothers for the first couple of months. The calves drink their mothers milk for about two years, sometimes longer. They drink up to 3 gallons of milk a day! At about four months old, they also begin eating some plants, like adult elephants, but they continue to need as much milk from their mother. They keep drinking milk for up to ten years!
At first, baby elephants dont really know what to do with their trunks. They swing them to and fro and sometimes even step on them. They will suck their trunk just as a human baby might suck its thumb.
By about 6 to 8 months, calves begin learning to use their trunks to eat and drink. By the time they are a year old, they can control their trunks pretty well and, like adult elephants, use their trunks for grasping, eating, drinking, bathing.
Female elephants stay with the herd for life, while males leave to begin a solitary life at about 12 to 14 years of age.

Distinguishing Between Asian and African Elephants
There are many similarities between Asian and African elephants, but there are simple ways to distinguish one from the other.

Asian elephants ears are smaller and more rounded.
African Elephant Coloring Page
There is also a distinct difference in the shape of Asian and African elephants heads. Asian elephants heads are smaller than an African elephants head and have a double-dome shape.
Both male and female African elephants can grow tusks, though not all do. Only male Asian elephants grow tusks.
Asian Elephant Coloring Page
The Asian elephant is smaller than the African elephant. Asian elephants live in jungle habitats. Its entirely different than the deserts of Africa. Water and vegetation are more plentiful in the jungle. So Asian elephants do not need wrinkled skin to trap moisture or large ears to fan their bodies.
Even the trunks of Asian and African elephants are different. African elephants have two finger-like growths on the tip of their trunks; Asian elephants only have one.
