Lion Trine

5 month old African lion cubs, Murphy and his sister, Coky, with their older brother, Donovan on a snowy winter day at the Utica Zoo. Donovan loved playing in the snow when he was a small cub but Murphy and Coky seem to prefer curling up against their brother to keep warm. Their parents recently went to live at another zoo but these three will all stay at the Utica Zoo and grow up together. It will be fun to watch them all get big, especially the boys when their manes begin to fully grow in.

Murphy and Coky were born this past summer on June 5, 2012 and Donovan was born May 11, 2011.
