At the Kecskemet Game Park in Kecskemet, Hungary, three lion cubs debuted to the public Friday. The cubs, two females and one male who haven’t yet been named, were born last month at the park.Their mother is 4-year-old Lungu and their father is 5-year-old Meru.

Lion cubs, as you might have noticed, are born with spots. Much like many humans who start out their lives with a thick smattering of freckles that fade with time, these cubs’ spots will disappear as they age (although remnants may remain on their legs and bellies).

Lion cubs typically weigh about 3 pounds at birth, but can weigh upward of 400 pounds as adults. They don’t become fully mature until they’re 3 or 4 years old. In the wild, lions are considered vulnerable to extinction (a step below endangered status) by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.
