You are truly a blessing!! Thank you, for your wonderful work that you do. She knew exactly where she was going, we just had to try and stick with her. LIONESS AND CUB FULLWe could see how full the mother was – evidence that she had been with the pride and had already fed. We could not believe how far the mother was taking this tiny cub. This process repeated itself over and over for almost 1,5 hours. The mother was forced to pick the cub again as it was just too slow and too tired to keep up. In addition, the cub couldn’t see a thing through the jungle of grass that it was navigating. This was tricky though, as for each step the mother took, the cub had to take about five to keep up. We could see how she tired from time to time, stopping to place the cub down and encouraging it to walk. We were treated to breathtaking moments as the lioness strolled right past us with her defenceless cub hanging from her mouth. Of all the places to see a lioness carrying a cub, this was not the area I expected. By carefully gripping the cub by the scruff of its neck, it instinctively relaxes, enabling the mother to carry it with ease.
