Lion cubs are born with spots. They disappear as they get older. This cub was born at the Bronx Zoo and was 3 months old when I took this photo, about a month ago. There are three cubs and the mom trains them while the dad watches over them. I hope to get back soon and see their progress.

This is great, Debby. I'm puzzled by the cub's spotty legs! Is his mom a cheetah? #8714010Sam Britt June 26, 2010
Beautiful capture of this sweet moment, Debby. I was wondering about the spots on the little one too! #8718475Deborah Lewinson June 26, 2010
Thank you so much Paula, Usman, Michelle, Sabrina, and Sam. I appreciate our kind words!Regarding the cubs, they do have spots. Thoughts are that lions may have had spots years ago and now only the babies have them.
I'm adding more info to the description above.
