Even at the tender age of four months old, the cubs have massive paws and are already practicing snarling. A hyena howl in the distance and these cuddly kittens were lined up beside the fence squeaking and coughing in indignation, even though they won’t be able to produce a full-throated roar for another three years. By the time they are six months old they are too fierce to interact with tourists safely.
