Finding Paragraphs #1

Lions litters usually consist of two or three cubs that weigh about 3 pounds each. Some mothers nurture the young; others sometimes neglect or abandon them, especially when food is scarce. Usually two or more females in a pride give birth about the same time, and the cubs are raised together. A lioness will permit cubs other than her own to suckle, sometimes enabling a neglected infant to survive. They are capable of hunting by 2 years of age, lions become fully grown between 5 and 6 years and they normally live about 13 years.
