OH NO. Look at that face! Look at that little face! Everybody, this is Moxie. He's a five-month-old baby lion who is making his debut at the Bronx Zoo. He's the first cub to be born at the zoo in 31 years, and he's sure to give us something to smile about in these hard times. He'll end up weighing 350 pounds, but he was born weighing only three. His parents, M’wasi and Sukari, brought together by the Wildlife Conservation Society, are very proud. And so are we! He's just a big boy! Who's a big boy? Who loves us! Who gives us love and kisses!

Now, just don't eat us.
