The Circle of Life

Bit of a sad one here, I'm afraid. The cub at the back seemed to have mange or some form of illness which meant he'd lost a good deal of fur, looked quite scrawny and generally unwell.

While his mother had been cleaning and licking his siblings, whenever he went close he just got snarled at and pushed away. Fortunately his brothers and sisters seemed to want to take care of him.

When the rains started to come down heavy, the cubs eventually all got up from where they had been huddling together and slowly trooped off for shelter. With this poor guy following slowly at the back. I hope he's OK.
