JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- A female lion cub born at the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens on June 30 continues the baby boom that started at the zoo with the birth of two Amur Leopard cubs on May 31.
The cub, who is the first surviving lion birth at the zoo since 1974, is also being nursed by zoo staff since this is only the second offspring for mother Tamu, according to a release from the zoo.
