Lions kill infants they don’t know, so this lion mother hides her cubs for the first six weeks, visiting only to feed them. When she introduces the cubs to the rest of the group, will they recognize the cubs as part of the family?

I've seen this several times. Apparently smacking the cubs around is a time honored trait for the males.
what days is PBS Nature on tv ?
2:38 BRAVE!
Aw, the teenage male hugs the cub!:)
so cute 🙂
ok
This is sooo amazing. I wish it were longer. I could watch them all day.
I love lion
Life is beautiful isn't it.I think the crews filming these has a most awesome job ever.
Lion arms are just like human arms and they use them the same way we do, whether to hug each other or to hold down prey. It's on major advantage they have over the herbivores they hunt who have such spindly limbs that are of little use beyond locomotion. Hyena limbs are also pretty useless which means everything has to be done with their mouth and teeth.
We all were cubs once
oh my GOD the cub in the minute 2:08 was so little and tried to run away owwww i was so nervous the pride would hurt him that that that…that bastard !! 😛
because the invading males only what cubs from their own blood. that is their job as a male lion once they reach adulthood. they need to have their own cubs and they need to protect their new pride. mothers often do protect their cubs. they usually would risk their own lives to do it, the females would often join up and defend their cubs from the invading males. so a lot of the times, females do kick their asses, but that won't stop the male lions from coming back…
Amazing and very interesting!Thank yu for posting!
its believed that if Lion cubs are killed the female will then be in heat and then the male can mate with her and continue his line. really its just getting rid of your competitors. Also the mothers do try and fight back but male lions are alot stronger.
Mother nature is truly amazing! The initial interaction between the pride and the cubs is more suspenseful than a Hollywood film. I got goosebumps watching that. If you've never visited the African savannah, make a point to do so before you check out of this world. It's a scene to behold.
Aww! Big brother 🙂
I don't know what kind of people who dislike this video !!
It's an amazing video
i would steal the lion cub as a pet
Soo sweet! I wish I have like this family…
I wish i was a lion fml
MERCY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
aaawww so cute! i hate when male lions kill cubs.
aaawww so cute!
sweet mom and her cubs
Nope. Lions play too rough for newborn cubs. They could accidentally kill them.
2:36 good Lord that must stink…man I don't even want to think about it
Is there a link for a video where the lion kills its infants ?
