WATCH: 8-Week-Old Lion Cub, Cain, Joins Six Flags Animal Nursery
The adorable cub comes to Vallejo from a Six Flags park in New Jersey where his mother, a first-time mom, was not properly caring for him.
VALLEJO, CA — An 8-week-old lion cub is the latest addition to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom's animal nursery, park officials announced Tuesday. Guests to the park in Vallejo will be able to visit Cain, the new male cub, at the nursery until the lion gets assimilated and joins the other two lionesses at the Lion's Lair habitat.
Cain was born May 6 at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, New Jersey.
"Expert caregivers will be providing him with around the clock care for the next few months," Animal Care Director Dianne Cameron said in a news release.
