Some may not have heard about it yet, but a while ago a lioness gave birth to 4 cubs in one of the zoos here in Norway.
Here's a LIVE FEED from the enclosure...
No sound though.
And below, there's a couple of related recordings.
Edit: You may be assaulted by a commercial before the live feed is opened up, though...
Edit 2: If you can't see the lioness or her cubs, please watch the cut with the text Løveungene: - Jeg kan stå der i timesvis og bare studere dem to get an idea of exactly how large the indoor pens are. We're just lucky that the lioness seems to prefer that one corner... _________________ "My name's Lion, Anthony Lion"

Just a bit of an update...
The cubs are now 1month 11 days old, and they now weigh 5,18 5,08 and 5,9 kilos. The fourth and largest(one of the females) managed to crawl under a treeroot and away from the big, bad man with the plastic bucket and scales...
(They are weighed 3times/week)
The names are:
Lea, Nala, Akira and Kiara .
Also, another lioness(Kila, 7years old) gave birth to two cubs last friday.
http://www.vg.no/nyheter/innenriks/artikkel.php?artid=193092
(By the July 7. they still didn't know the sex of the two cubs as Kila is 'rather' protective... )
The live feed has been viewed over one million times since it was set up, and was originally slated to be taken down on July 2. but because of all the feedback from all over the world... it's still running... _________________ "My name's Lion, Anthony Lion"

Want to see the weigh-in?
Also, they've finally been able to examine the two latest cubs which are a male and a female. _________________ "My name's Lion, Anthony Lion"
