|
The cubs were hand fed from the first day
|
|
Surgical gloves are worn to protect the cubs from human germs
|
|
They are playful but wobbly like 5 week old kittens
|
But they are as strong as a grown domestic cats
|
The cubs were taken from the mother's den after birth because she showed no interest in caring for them.
|
The cubs sound full grown when they howl for their food
