African lions give birth to young after a gestation period of about 110 days. The female, known as a lioness, typically seeks a secluded spot to deliver her cubs, usually in a den or dense vegetation for protection. Lionesses usually give birth to a litter of one to four cubs, which are born blind and helpless. After giving birth, she will care for and nurse the cubs for several weeks before introducing them to the pride.
