Best Answer

A baby lion cub can weigh anywhere from 2.5 pounds to 5 pounds at birth. Fewer than 50% of lion cubs survive the first year of life.
They're about the size of a baby golden retriever.
Lion cubs are pretty small when they are born. They weigh between 1 to 2 kilograms at birth. They are a few inches tall and approximately around a feet or so in length. They are born with their eyes closed and their eyes don't open until a week.

Lion cubs are pretty small when they are born. They weigh between 1 to 2 kilograms at birth. They are born with their eyes closed and their eyes don't open until a week. For the first few months, they are entirely dependent on their mother for milk and protection. Later, the whole pride takes care of all the cubs in the pride.
