Well, since Lynda asked I have put up a few pictures here: http://www.kodakgallery.com/Slidesho...y41ld&Ux=1

Hopefully we will have another Africaphile and wildlife conservationist on our hands -- I'm certainly creating the environment for one. Thanks again for all the well wishes.

Carla: Exactly, this is a big reason why I upgraded from my two door to the new 4-door Calypso research vessel (why drive a mini-van when Jeep Wrangler now comes in a 4 door convertible!)

a new cub! Congratulations Ms and Mr Predator Biologist!

Welcome to the world Leo. Nice Den youv'e got there

Cheers
Jude

Congrats,Pred and well done.

Aaaawwww Pred, what a cutie!!! And Ashley looks really made up - bet she's going to be the best big sister ever!

Imelda

Lovely name, lovely baby boy!

Why does Mr PB look more exhausted than Mrs PB?!

Hmm... Kavey you're right. Looking at the pictures one wonders who had the baby Ms. PB or Mr. PB???? Definitely Ms. PB looks to have a bit more spark in her!

Opps - Sorry, it pays to read the captions!

Congratulations. Does your choice of name have anything to do with the Latin name of the African lion, panthera leo?

Congrats PB. Let's hope he doesn't look like you when he grows up

Adorable. I, too, love the name!

Congratulations to the whole pride. Karibu duniani, Leo.

A new cub - how exciting! Cute photo of Ashley and Leo (and PB, of course!).

Congrats!

Thanks all for the continued wonderful comments except for NapaMatt of course, who's sentiments I do happen to agree with

For those commenting on my wear and tear vs. Mrs. PB, no photos of Mrs. PB included -- she is one of those sleek, rare felines who rarely appears in internet photos. The young lady in the pics is my precocious 12 year old Ashley who did not participate in this battle and thus looks wonderful vs. her weathered patriarch.

Meant to add that Leo is certainly short for Panthera leo and it is absolutely purposeful that my boy is named lion.

Aah, should have read the captions!

Congrats to all of you--I agree with Imelda--Ashley looks like she will be a great big sister.

Congratulations to the PB Pride!! What an adorable cub, with a cozy den to start out his life of wonderful adventures! Deb
