Although sometimes it still take a few moments for me to tell the three little sisters apart, there are a few subtle differences that help: in this case I'm pretty sure the angel you see here is Ying Yai, the eldest sister, as the colour of her coat is slightly lighter than her younger sisters and her youthful spots aren't quite as prominent.

While of course they're all physically growing at a proportionate pace, the two features that always stand out to me as seemingly growing faster are their beautiful eyes and what now appear to be their comparatively oversized ears.

For any new to this series: This is one of three sister African Lioness cubs, now two months old, born and well cared for at Khao Kheow Open Zoo, Chonburi Province, Thailand.
