I wish I could get a video of what I saw on ABC this morning.

Triplet lion cubs have made their public debut, just a few hundred metres away from a wobbly newborn giraffe, at Dubbo's Taronga Western Plains Zoo.
Key points:
Three lion cubs and a giraffe calf have made their public debut at the Taronga Western Plains Zoo
The lions were born in April but spent time away from the public eye to bond with their parents
The giraffe was born on the weekend in front of zoo guests
It comes after the giraffe was born on the weekend in front of very surprised zoo guests.
The three female lion cubs were born in April but have been kept away from the public until now, to bond with their parents and be vaccinated.
First-time parents Marion and Lwazi accompanied their little ones out of their enclosure where they quickly became centre of attention.
"Keepers and guests loved seeing the cubs climbing the trees and rocks, although Marion appears to be on high alert as a first-time mother with these especially confident cubs," lion supervisor Justine Powell said.
