The young lions include one male named Taras and three females named Stefania, Lesya and Prada, according to the International Fund for Animal Welfare, a global nonprofit that helped rescue the animals. Three of the cubs are 4 months old, and the oldest, Prada, is 6 months old, The Wildcat Sanctuary said in Sandstone, Minnesota.

Before their arrival at the sanctuary, the cubs spent three weeks at Poznan Zoo in Poland, where they recovered from a 36-hour trip from war-torn Ukraine, the animal welfare fund said.
