Not all cubs become adults, it's part of natural selection.
True for all younglings of any species.
Thanks to modern medicine we expect our kids to all survive and outlive us (I sure do) but even with humans, it's a recent thing.
The so-often-misunderstood "survival of the fittest" mostly happens during an animal's childhood. Once it can reproduce, it has survived long enough to pass its genes.
