A tiger cub and lion cub play together at the Akwaaba Lodge in Rustenburg, South Africa. They are being looked after at the zoo after they were abandoned by their mums.

At the Akwaaba Lodge there are three lions, a tiger, and a spotted hyena. The owner of the four- star hotel, Layla Cajee, has raised the cubs from birth. Bella the tiger, five months, is the leader of the pack, while the three lions, Delano, Romeo and Maximus, also five months. Meanwhile the eldest - Milika the hyena, six months - is the most mischievous in the motley crew.

(7,515 posts)Starting to recover? ...I know the marathon bombing hurt terribly.

(83,860 posts)I knew people there. They were so close and lost windows on two floors. They are receiving counseling for what they saw.
I found out today that my sister works with six women that worked the medical tent at the marathon. They ended up having to set up a Triage unit in the tent.
I am still crying. However we will heal.
Thanks, SD.
