a lion cub
A baby lion is called a cub. Cubs are born blind and depend on their mothers for protection, warmth, and food. They stay with their mother for about two years before becoming independent.
To stay safe around lions, it is important to keep a safe distance, avoid surprising or cornering them, and never approach them on foot. If you encounter a lion, try to make yourself appear larger by raising your arms and making noise to scare it away. It is advisable to stay inside a vehicle if you are in a lion's presence in the wild.
When a lion cub is in danger, it will usually try to hide or stay close to its mother. If the threat persists, the lion cub may attempt to roar or use its claws to defend itself. In extreme situations, a lion cub may try to flee to safety.
