    Quite often when I’ve went to Edinburgh I’ve seen only 2 of the lion cubs (they are supposed to have 3) I have not seen the female cub for quite a while, does anyone know if she’s still alive or she passed away?

    It’s possible she’s been separated from the males, she could’ve also moved somewhere else however I haven’t heard anything. If I were you I’d keep an eye on the webcam.

    They have the Cubs seperated from Roberta and Jayedra at the moment. It’s likely they’re rotating the two groups.

    Visited the other day, all three Cubs are still there, they were in the smaller enclosure at the top when I visited.
