![The Ross Breakaway lion cubs have grown to 2 months old, and we love seeing them looking well fed and healthy!

![A huge amount of lion activity went down yesterday morning, and this time it wasn’t of the ‘two cute cubs’ variety… The Ross breakaway lionesses (one of whom is a new mother) and two of the Trilogy males were found by the nThambo Tree Camp dream team, Matt and Isaak.
