Before lions grow up into an adult male or female lion, they spend most of their time playing around as tiny, adorable balls of fluff and cuteness. And there is hardly a person that can resist lion cubs lovable charms.

This is about a cute fluff ball lion cub Bahati. She is a female lion cub from the Dallas Zoo. And she took the internet by storm. But not because of her cuteness, but because she is the amazing model behind baby Zimba in the Lion King Remake movie. So, recently Dallas Zoo has uploaded a breathtaking sweet video of Bahati which they sent to Disney.

When you go 3 miles south from Downtown Dallas, you will be able to locate the Dallas Zoo. It is the oldest zoological park in the state of Texas. After a man sold two deer and two mountain lions to the City of Dallas for $60 in 1888, this zoo was established and they placed them in the pens in City Park.

Lion cubs may seem cute. But when they grow up, a female lion can eat a whopping 5kg of meat every single day. And a male lion can eat 7kg or even more. It is the female lions that do the hunting most of the time, while male lions protect the pride. They usually live in packs made up of 10-15 lions. They live around 12-16 years in the wild and 25 years in the zoo.
