Wherein I pet a Lion Cub!

One of the big draws for most folks are the baby lions.  There were 2 little bear cubs as well, but apparently those are too rough for people to touch, so we only got to look and enjoy their cuteness.

However, after the kids had mauled the small animals for a while, a lady came out and opened the lion cub cage and brought out one of the cubs.  She stayed near him, but let him prowl up and down the bench.  Poor little guy could smell all this tasty prey around, but couldn't get to any of it!

The girls got to pet him and love on him and he was very cute and very fun.  Then the girls lost interest and went back to the smaller things they could hold and cuddle.

Petting the baby lion!

Look how cute he is!! 

Even Joshua went in for a pat. 

Out of all the photos I snapped, this selfie, taken blind, is the ONLY one with the cub looking up!  Awesome for me! 

Look at the little King.  Adorbs!
