This adorable African lion cub is one of four males that were born from two lionesses a couple days apart in November, 2013, at the Zoo Basel, Switzerland. The proud father of both litters is an eleven-year-old named Mbali. All of the adult lions are from South Africa. In the wild, the population has declined significantly. So, the Zoologischer Garten Basel has been very active in both a European breeding program and an African conservation program.
