"cub" の定義と意味

What is a "cub?

A cub is a term used to describe the young of certain carnivorous mammals, such as bears, lions, tigers, and wolves. Cubs are born helpless and require intensive care from their mothers for survival. As they grow, they learn to hunt and fend for themselves, developing the skills necessary to become independent adults. Cubs can be very playful and energetic, often engaging in rough-and-tumble play with their siblings or other young animals in their social group. Cubs are typically weaned at a few months old and remain with their mothers until they are old enough to live independently or join a new social group.
