After managing to find the Tailless Female of the Tsalala Pride relaxing together with her cub, I found it impossible to not share some of the footage with you all. It shows the attention a cub seeks, and the demands placed on you, when you are a mother of a single cub. For those ‘lion addicts’ and followers of the continual trials and tribulations of the Tsalala pride…here’s a little snip for you!
Born around mid July 2012 this little cub is proving to be incredibly cute and wonderfully relaxed.
With no little brothers or sister to play with, the Tailless Female has to take on the role of provider and play-mate.
