Phinda has moved her cubs and they are all well and growing steadily.It will not be long before they are steady on their feet and moving around
Pics taken on 7th june ,the cubs eyes are clearing and they are already moving about albeit on wobbly legs.Phinda's condition could be better so we will be monitoring carefully.
