In South Africa, Six Lion Cubs Race To Keep Up With Their Mother

In South Africa’s Kruger National Park, six cute lion cubs gained attention when they were spotted sprinting to keep up with their mother’s pace. The CEO and founder of Latest Sightings, Nadav Ossendryver, expressed gratitude for having been present for the incredible scene.

Later, on May 3, Latest Sightings posted the video to their YouTube channel. With the help of an instinct and an earlier sighting alert from the Latest Sightings App, Nadav and his friends set out on the S114, one of the park’s most popular routes. Their luck soon changed, despite their initial disappointment at not seeing any wildlife.

Their excitement skyrocketed when they spotted a faraway lioness, but nothing compared to what happened next. Minutes later, the lioness stood up and started to cry out, giving Nadav no reason to doubt that her cubs were nearby.

Six gorgeous lion cubs braved a heartwarming display of jumping out of the bushes to answer their mother’s call. The lioness delighted onlookers with this uncommon daytime show as she proudly bragged her cubs along the wide road. It appeared the lioness was “showing her cubs off” as they played and zigzagged.

“After a while, the lions relaxed next to the road, where many onlookers could witness them. The description of the video stated “We stayed with them for well over an hour until they eventually moved off, out into the bush.
