The Philadelphia Zoo has released video footage of four new African lion cubs, the first baby lions born at the zoo since 1996. The cubs were born to Tajiri, the zoo's 4-year-old female in June, continuing the zoo's successful breeding of big cats over the past few years. Zoo staff is monitoring the lion and her cubs by video camera to give them privacy in their off-exhibit den. Zoo officials say mother and cubs are doing well. At this point, lion cubs are rather helpless and rely on their mother for care and constant physical contact. Tajiri has been in almost constant physical contact with her cubs since their birth, and appears confident and relaxed as a first-time mother. Their public debut will take place in a few months when Tajiri and her babies are ready to venture from the privacy of their den. Report by Claire Lomas.
