Mom, tell me another story 0415

A tender moment shared between a lion cub and its mother. The lioness will provide all the care for her young for about 8 weeks or so before introducing them to the rest of the pride. Once they are successfully introduced into the pride the responsibilities will be shared and the cubs safety and chances of survival will improve. Despite this, at least 50% of cubs don't survive their first year. There are dangers on the Serengeti even for the king of the "jungle." Once can only imagine the lessons that need to be learned and the stories that somehow must be told. #BigCats #Bringit #Canon
