Glen Afric and Baby Lions

Never, ever in my life have I seen anything as cute as these baby lion cubs.  They are the most precious little creatures I have ever come across, and these particular two were being guarded by a wild-eyed timberwolf at Glen Afric (a private game reserve just outside of Johannesburg) that thought it was their mama (you have to take them away from their real mama's because she might kill them).  While I was there for New Years, I also got to see hippo, giraffes, lions, tigers, leopards, wildebeests, zebras and tons of other happy animals.  I also tasted--how could I not--warthog.  They'd slung a whole one on the pit and fired it up for the New Years bonfire.  I only had one bite, but it was delish.  I mean, who the heck eats warthog?  The South African's love it--they are mad meat eaters...
Oh, and the tent accommodations were awesome--complete with claw foot bathtub dead in the bush.

Just gorgeous. Interesting to read that they are taken away from their real mother as she might kill them. So what happens in the wild then? Guess I need to read up on lions.
