What is the change in lions each month? ** There are 5-1=<<5-1=4>>4 more lions each month.
How many additional lions will there be after 1 year? ** There will be 4*12=<<4*12=48>>48 more lions after 1 year.
How many lions were there in Londolozi at first? ** There were 148-48=<<148-48=100>>100 lions in Londolozi at first.
