Approximately after 110 days of gestation, the female will give birth to the babies, which be from 1 to 4. The lioness will give birth in a cave, away from the rest of her group, and she will stay close to the lair and will only hunt small prey that she can knock down on her own. This food will offer her the possibility of continuing the production of milk for young lions.
The mother will move with her young to a new den every two weeks. She will move them one at a time, carrying them by the nape of the neck. If it stays in a den for a long time, its smell can attract predators. When these puppies are about 5 weeks old, they will be introduced to the rest of the herd.
