At birth, cubs are 30 to 35 centimeters (12 to 14 inches) long and weigh little more than half a kilogram (about one pound). They are blind, toothless, and covered with short, soft fur. They are completely dependent on their mother for warmth and food. | Polar Bears International | Facebook

Newborn baby lions, called cubs, spend their first few weeks hidden in a safe den with their mother. Once they’re strong enough, they begin to venture out and explore their surroundings—curious, playful, and still a little wobbly on their feet as they discover the world for the first time.
