During 2001, 137 (71.61.5) cubs were born in 43 litters at 20 facilities in 14 countries (see Section
G). Table 3 lists these litters of cubs and facilities. These births represent an increase in
productivity over 2000, when 85 cubs were born. Of the 137 cubs born, 26 (12.9.5) died under 1
month of age, which represents a 19% infant mortality. 9 (5.4.0) cubs died between one month and
six months of age. Total cub deaths fewer than six months of age were 35 (17.13.5), which
represents 25.5% cub mortality, a considerably higher percentage than 2000.
