Since it's baby motif week, I thought I'd post this image of Lulu and Layla, the new lion cubs at the Ft. Worth Zoo. It was taken Memorial Day weekend this year when they were about 7-weeks old. It took all day from 10:00am to after 6:00pm to get this shot, but it was worth the wait.

This is my first post on NSN, but those of you who view pm.com may remember this image.

Great shot - last week they looked more like troublesome teenagers. It was their exhausted mother I posted last week :)
