This is the reason they have given her a name of “Mausi” as in mother’s sister. Would like to keep tabs on this development. I wonder how the father of the cubs (both litters) would react? Or have both the litters been fathered by the same male?! So many questions.

FYI SHE IS CURRENTLY FEEDING 7 CUBS (4 of her own and 3 of her sister).

Actually, the story is even more fascinating:

Yeah, it states that in the description but for whatever reason the description doesn't show on WF.

In regards to the father, I'm sure it's no issue. Males generally won't know if a cub is theirs or not and I'd imagine that counting isn't something within the capabilities of a big cat. Reply
