While cases of brutal poaching and murderous hunting by predators are quite common in the forested regions, there are also moments of joy that equally grab attention on the internet. From animals giving birth to baby animals playing around in the wild, these videos are quite popular on social media and garner a lot of views. One such moment was recently captured at the MalaMala Game Reserve in South Africa. The video shows a heartwarming reunion of a mam lion with her cubs, which will melt your heart right away.
Captured by a tour guide, the video shows how the Kambula lioness, mostly distinguished by the telltale suckle marks on her underbelly leads a group of forest rangers on a journey to her den where the tiny cubs await.
Following their mother’s low-frequency contact calls, the cubs finally emerge one by one, thus giving a show of their joyous reunion. The guide can be heard expressing how the mama lion continued calling out to the cubs, who came out running in the cutest manner, trying to respond to their mother. Further, the video shows the cubs racing toward their mother, looking all excited and playful as soon as they hear her.
As soon as they reached their mom, the cubs could be seen jumping on her, purring, and wagging their tails before feeding.
WATCH:
As soon as the video was shared, it immediately went viral gaining over 6,00,000 views and more than 1,000 likes on YouTube. Users while reacting to the video dropped multiple reactions, showering the video with love.
A user wrote, “Those cubs look very thin, they needed mom desperately and mom very engorged. I am sure she felt much relief from nursing," while a second user wrote, “Nothing can compare to the happiness of lion cubs when they are nursing from their mother; it’s a moment full of love."
“Thank you to the videographer for capturing this amazing moment. It’s truly share-worthy," a third one commented.
