The Lion (Cubs) in Winter

It's always a treat to see newborn animals experiencing things for the first time.  Consider these lion cubs from the Buffalo Zoo, enjoying a romp in their first snowfall.  Today, both leopards and tigers are found in Russia's Far East, where snow is plentiful.  Lions are found only in sub-Saharan Africa (and a tiny pocket of India) these days, but their historic range extended into Europe.  It's strange to think that, had we not had such a hostile history with their species, we might today we watching footage of wild lions in the snow as well.
