The life of this lion cub was determined by one minute of attention.
Life in the wild for the baby is difficult, especially in such harsh conditions as Masai Mara in Kenya.
The life of this lion cub was determined by one minute of attention.
When his mother looked away from him, the child fell from the edge of a sheer precipice.
The young man began to call for help, seeing himself below, lonely and helpless.
His mother, who was not far, immediately arrived with three other lionesses and a male.
However, the fate of the cub looked predetermined, because his salvation would also jeopardize lion’s life.
Slowly, painfully the lioness descends to her frightened baby.
She carefully steps on the slippery hill with her sharp claws, knowing that one mistake would put an end to her and the life of the cub.
Finally she took him into her own hands. The cub believes that he is now safe, but the danger is not far off.
The difficult path home is about to begin.
Dramatic events end with the fact that the mother and baby are intact in integrity and safety on solid ground over the brink.
Now that everything is in order, a devoted mother licks her baby to convince him that he is safe.
Let’s hope that the young man has learned the lesson!
