When I first read this story, I screamed “Kitty!” just like “Boo” from Monsters Inc.

On July 25, the Denver Zoo welcomed an African lion cub that was born to mom Neliah and dad Tobias. Both mom and cub are healthy and bonding.

For now, guests at the zoo can see Neliah and her cub on the TV screens in Pahali Ya Simba in Benson Predator Ridge.

The cub will have a public debut later this summer. It’s name and gender have not yet been determined.
