Tako

Your lioness notices her cub is different to all the others. She can't even count all the little legs! She's very worried but the cub curls up and suckles milk nicely.

As cubs at this age learn to walk and wiggle around, poor Tako just drags its body and squeaks sadly. The appetite isn't as great either.

Tako has trouble following its mom around. It often gets left behind and prefers to hide in the bush.

Tako sometimes plays in the den, but sleeps most of the day, looking sad while its mom nudges it to be more active.

The multiple legs of Tako prevent it from developing muscles correctly. Shaky limbs won't let it play too long and its general health is noticeably declining.

Apathy of Tako is preventing the cub from moving or eating much.

Tako died last night due to being lethally deformed.

Grandpaw Lurcher comes over and lays down next to Tako, flicking their tail over to draw the attention of the wild cub. Grandpaw Lurcher continues, giving the rest of the pride some time off from entertaining Tako.
