These are what the guides say Duco Ndona, so I'm just referencing what they indicated; however, judging by their behavior, they are indeed protecting or guarding the den site.  Just because you don't recall lions protecting den sites as 'a thing' doesn't mean it's never happened.  Time will tell if these cubs make it as their sires cannot protect them 24/7, however, as they are busy males with other prides to oversee and territories to patrol.
