NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — As the weather grew summerlike, four African lion cubs had their day out in the sun at the Bronx Zoo Thursday.

The lion cubs debuted last fall, but received their formal introduction Thursday as they came outside to enjoy the sun.

Born back on Aug. 16, the litter is composed of three males – Thulani, Ime, and Bahata – and one female, Amara. Their mother is Sukari, 9, and their father is M’wasi, 11, the zoo said.

When I was little I was obsessed with the movie "Born Free" and I read Joy Adamson' s other two books as well. I even named one of my barn cats Elsa. Thanks for sharing this.
