Hoaruseb
females and cubs
The two Hoaruseb lionesses (Xpl-37 and Xpl-38) gave birth to their first respective litters early in 2008. These lions are the focus of intensive research and monitoring, and the implementation of sustainable lion eco-tourism in the Kunene Region is based primarily on them. As a result, a large volume of information is available and it justifies the allocation of a separate web page to the Hoaruseb lions, and in particular to the development of the cubs. Regular updates, photos and video clips will be posted on this page. The individual details (personal files) of the three cubs can be viewed by clicking on their photos or names (below).
