When African Lions are Bronx-Born and Raised

It's much too hot--Being born in February was a bad choice!

Pep (top right) tries to entice Junior into a little playtime, but Junior isn't having any of it!

Seriously folks, take my advice, and head on down to the Bronx Zoo before these beautiful baby lions transform into surly, slacker teen-angst felines right before your very eyes. Just last Tuesday, Nicole and I went to see our friends that I had cheerfully nicknamed Pep, Junior, Felicity, and Sasha when we saw them in May. After seeing these big cats slumber in the dog days of August, I decided to rename them Sleepy, Lazy, Drowsy and Comatose.

In all seriousness, Pep definitely tried to stir up some action with his brother, Junior. As you can see, it didn't go well.
