Friday our team was on cub duty. This work entails making baby bottles in the morning n hand feeding the lil' cubs. It, like every other was an amazing experience! We then missed breakfast, but we didn't go completley hungry though as Melissa n Laura made us toast + we had a few other scraps that were left. All in all, it was worth it as we won't be bottle feeding that same schedule anymore because they are getting too big. The only bottle feeding now will be 8:00am n when we have guests for cub interaction. Lunch was pretty good actually n good thing we ate before our next chore of taking the meat n dead chickens out of the freezer to thaw for the next feedings. Fowl is foul. In the afternoon we had guests to monitor. I love the looks on their faces! Even though I can't understand what they're saying, their expressions say it all.
We cleaned the gremlins pen, which at one point about 20 lions got loose, (not my fault, by the way)but, shortly after, surprisingly, they all came back. These are medium size lions.
At 16:00 hours Jill, one of the owners, took us to see the newest additions to the cub club! They were born the day before n the day of our arrival. They were so small n cute! Mommy of one of them almost came through the enclosure at me. A lil' scary at times, but, I tried not to let on(!)
Then off to feed the chickens n meat to the cheetahs n bigger lion cubs, n we also introduced larger pieces of meat to the littlest cubs. They took to it very well.
Then dinner n called it an early night.
Oh, and lots of rain.
