PITTSBURGH — Three African lion cubs were born at the Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium, zoo officials announced Thursday.

Zoo officials said the cubs started nursing right away.

The African lion births are the first at the zoo since 1975.

A new lion pride was announced at the zoo in June. It now consists of a 3-year-old boy, a pair of 3-year-old girls and the three new lion cubs.
