You’ll see the older sisters stalking the cubs, and they stalk their older sisters as well., , “It’s also great to see their interactions with their dad Lwazi. They are so obsessed with him, wherever he goes they follow him and want to jump all over him and get in his tail and his mane.”, , The cubs’ birth brought the lion population at Taronga Western Plains Zoo to 11, with 9 in the main pride including the newest cubs, their parents and their big sisters Amali, Imani, Mara and Zawadi., , Sub-adult males Bahati and Jabari, born as part of Marion and Lwazi’s second litter in October 2023, have now moved away from the pride to form their own bachelor coalition., , In the wild, male lions leave their pride as they reach sexual maturity, a natural safeguard to maintain genetic diversity. The young males form coalitions, and then either form their own pride or live out their lives as bachelors., , “We took our cues from the lions themselves,” Bridget said., , “When we were doing those cub introductions, we saw some signs from Marion and the oldest sisters that it was time for the boys to make their own way., , “We made the decision to separate the boys so they’re now a bachelor group.”, , The best time to see the cubs is between 10:30am and 3pm daily on the smaller of the Zoo’s two Lion Pride Lands habitats., , Brothers Bahati and Jabari can be seen on the largest Lion Pride Lands habitat, where guests can enter the lions’ den on board the Zoo’s purpose-built Pride Lands Patrol truck.
