War cubs arrive at sanctuary

-

Four lion cubs that were orphaned during the war in Ukraine have arrived safely at a Minnesota animal sanctuary that has pledged to provide them a permanent home. A male cub named Taras and three females named Stefania, Lesya and Prada, who are all between 4 and 5 months old, spent the last three weeks at the Poznan Zoo in Poland. Their arrival in the US marked the final step in an arduous journey after they lived through sporadic bombings and drone attacks in Ukraine, according to the Internatio­nal Fund for Animal Welfare.
