Lionesses leave the pride and give birth to their lion babies in dense bush. When they are born the lion cubs are very small and only weigh about 1.5 kilograms (53 ounces). Lion babies are born with their eyes closed. Their eyes only open 3-11 days after birth.
A female lion mother will leave her new cubs in a safe hiding place while she goes to hunt every day. She moves the cubs to new locations by carrying them in her mouth by the scruff of their necks. The cubs seem to instinctively relax their muscles when they are being carried which makes the transport process easier for them and their mother.
