How often do female lions produce cubs?

Lions have a high reproductive potential. Females are polyoestrus and are cyclic throughout the year. Should a female lose her litter in some way, she will mate again within a few days to a few weeks. She can then give birth to another litter within three months.

Under normal circumstances the birth interval is usually 24 months.
