Lion cubs play in a tree. MalaMala, South Africa

On a recent trip to MalaMala Game Reserve. South Africa, we encountered the large Kambula Pride of lions. They have six adult females and eleven cubs at ages around a year. (There are also four 3 month old cubs – see my video "Small Lion Cubs MalaMala"). These year old cubs could not resist playing in the tree, which always seems to become a playground for cubs.
