Nyra, the lion cub, has made her first public appearance. She was in a playful mood at the National Zoo and Aquarium in Canberra, Australia’s capital. Nyra lazed in the winter sun and snuggled with her parents, lioness Nairibi and father Mlinzi. She is the first cub bred at the zoo in more than 20 years. Her name means “unity” in Swahili, fitting for the grand feline family’s baby.
