Lion mother anxiously watches cubs cross dangerous river
The video shows a lioness, anxiously watching her two cubs swimming through a dangerous river, hoping that they will make it safely to the other side.
The African wild is a hostile environment, filled with treacherous terrains and dangerous animals. Extreme weather conditions at certain times of the year like heat waves and floods add additional pressure on the survival of many animals. ‘Only the strongest will survive’ is something that rings true in the African wild daily. During the rainy season, floods can cause all kinds of challenges for humans and wild animals. Rivers will come down with great masses of water, making large parts inaccessible, challenging animals that are on the move even more. During the wet season in the Kruger National Park, the lioness in the video was spotted standing on the one side of a river, looking concerned while staring at the opposite side of the river. Even though lions hate swimming, it looked like the lioness had no choice to cross the river onto safer grounds, then expecting her young to follow. Suddenly a lion cub jumped in the water and started swimming across. The lioness made these soft contact calls while her cub swam across, motivating it to get to the other side towards her. Rivers in the African wild are crawling with crocodiles and hippos, two species of animals that can even put fear into a dangerous animal such as a lion. Soon after, a second cub jumped in and swam across, with the lioness encouraging the second cub while looking very anxious. Amazingly both cubs made it through to join the mother safely, turning the scary and tense moments into a happy and heartwarming ending.
