The Kyushu Natural Wildlife Park African Safari in Usa City, Oita welcomed three new lion cubs on April 27. The park’s female lion Rita gave birth to triplets (two females and one male) who were named Risa, Riona, and Rikuto. Park visitors can now hold the cubs and take a commemorative photograph with them for ¥500. After three months, the cubs will become too dangerous for visitors to interact with and so taking a photograph with them will only be possible until July.
