A female lion cub is weighed during an afternoon checkup by Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens staff on July 10, 2012, in Jacksonville, Fla. The cub, born on June 30, appears to be healthy and strong, despite the fact that Tamu, the mother, is not nursing the cub adequately. The staff has been supplementing the cub's diet with bottle-fed formula. The father of the cub, Mshoni, is one of the most genetically valuable lions in the Association of Zoos and Aquariums' population. This is first surviving lion birth at Jacksonville Zoo since 1974.
