Adorable Lion Cub Defies Its Mom

Every day in the savannah is full of drama: tender lions become the kings and queens of the jungle, and we can only admire their devotion to each other. The video showing a young cub playing peek-a-boo and his mother’s kind reaction has become popular, inspiring the viewers and demonstrating that these animals have a soft side. It could be interpreted as humor to let people know that even the mightiest lion still cherishes the aspect of family.

Lioness with patience stalks her offspring in all the ways possible. She grabs him slowly and gently, she gazes at him with affection, dominating him with the stubbornness of her determined stare.
