Lion cub Koza is 10 weeks old, at the San Diego Wild Animal Park. She was born with a twin in the same litter, but it was a difficult birth and the twin died and the mother wound up in a condition unable to raise her cub. That makes it harder because lions are social animals.
So they decided to introduce Mastiff puppy Cairo, to ease the transition. These two would be enemies if they were fully grown - and the lion would win, outweighing the dog by 400 pounds to 90. But for the time being, they are playing (or so it seems), hanging out for an hour at a time while they get used to each other.
