Humans are animals. And of course a large amount of other animals are going to be better parents? Why do we have this ingrained idea that humans are somehow better than other animals, sure we passed them on the evolutionary scale, but that doesn't mean we have better morals than them; we came from the exact same situation as these beautiful animals.
This video is an example of how great a mother's love is for her offsprings. We humans should learn to love and respect our parents. Thanks. -ENGEL DELA CRUZ from the Philippines
Honey the female cheetah has by far one of the best character developments out of any other cheetah star that undergoes this amazing behaviour of her, when she was defending her 3 cubs against a huge male lion by standing her ground towards him and that is the pure definition of brave mother cheetah from big cat diary with the heart of a lion by taking a risk for her survival of her cubs. Best and most iconic moment from Big Cat Diary ever.
Obviously, Lion vs Cheetah, Lion will win. If it happened. But a Lion would never catch a cheetah, ever. The cubs are the only thing that stands in the way. But just 1v1...nothing would happen. Lion would never catch it.
kevin stj The female in that video had entered directly into the Lion's territory and was cornered, and the male was injured and thus unable to run at full speed. If in full health and prepared, a cheetah would easily escape from a lion.
Andrew Compton Easily is an understatement. There is a video on youtube of a cheetah cub being chased by a zebra. I don't know how old the cub was, maybe 6 months but it was able to out pace the zebra.
male lions fan and will kill cheetahs. It happens all the time. Usually they're young, but if you watched Big Cat Diary, they state clearly that only 1/4 of cheetahs born live to adulthood. In another episode, I don't remember if it was Honey or Amber, a cheetah mother returned to an area after losing her cub where they discovered its body. It was determined that the cub was indeed killed by a lion. My point here is it happens all the time.
To those complaining about narration, this is a series and he has followed these animals for years and basically is emotionally tied to them. His reactions are genuine. He is also articulate, maybe thats why you dont like it?
That's a smart cat, that mother. She was just trying to distract and delay the lion enough to let her cubs get away and she new she could out run him when he came towards her. She never intended to fight. Only to get respect and help her cubs.
cheetahs are food competition. If those cubs live to adulthood they will be fighting for the same food him and his family will be fighting for. Which is why lions often attack/kill other predators in their territory
I remember watching this when it was on t.v. Love it, loved every episode :) I did hear they were doing another Big Cat Diary, I hope they are. We get some brilliant nature programmes on the BBC
Hirnlego999 Well then fuck are these bbc crews doing, start dropping food hampers from planes into this area. Save them from killing each other in this famine stricken area. Poor hungry bastards. Thats why their so mean and predatory, The ones that are more vicious just get hangry. If they were all full from plentiful meals no one would be angry. Predatory Animals would be less vicious to us and each other.
probably not Lions rarely eat Hyena or cheetah cubs they just kill them to eliminate future nuisance which hyenas and cheetahs would do as well if they meet unguarded lion cubs
If caught they stand no chance against lions. That doesn't mean they're done for upon meeting every time, as you can see. There was one where a mother scared the heck out of the lions approaching her den, she ran after them slapping the ground, I'm not sure the lions understood it was a cheetah and not something else because they ran like heck! LOL I have seen lions kill cheetahs, they do not kill other cats like they would prey, they pretty much bite and rip them apart. Often cheetah's are killed by getting their skulls or spines broken, not suffocated. They are treated very much differently than prey would be.
***** It's always possible. lol Food(or protecting a food source), territory, protecting cubs...they don't think like humans, they could very well consider them cub killers even if they aren't, and it's not unheard of for cheetah's to try to kill lion cubs(it's been seen before, though very rare). Who knows what the lions actually think of them and why. =) Could be all of the above.
That’s one of the downsides of being a nature presenter, you can’t intervene or interfere, even if an entire family will be massacred, as nearly happened here.
Already seen this. 1.The female was caught extremely off guard. 2. The Male Cheetah was either sick or injured, this was even explained in the documentary. Lions can not catch a Cheetah in normal circumstances.
If the Lion was determined to kill the children, the cheetah could do nothing. Even one hyena or one leopard is too much for a cheetah, forget a lion, or a male lion at that. He was bored, lucky and brave cheetah.
Joshua Allen.No, would have been broken nothing. He never would have caught her, and they both knew this. That's a game Cheetah mothers play all the time. Get the big ol' silly Lion to chase me while the cubs escape. So the Lions focus is else where, and they can't resist the chase. He wasn't bored he just knew he'd never catch her! And we know how lazy male Lions are, they won't risk a thing unless it's a sure thing! Clever girl.
Doggy Ajax i'd laugh if i found you floating face down in a pool, especially if your mouth and eyes were wide open. i'd have to take a picture of that for my wall.
I miss watching this show as a kid brings back so many memories. Not too many kids my age were ever interested in animals stuff like this but that never bothered me. I'd legit sit at my grandparents house on a Saturday and sit for hours watching to the point my grandmother would force me to come outside with the family lmao
@@huh7307 I watched this episode back in 2006, all three reunited, the first cub that stood up instead of staying still ran a little further, but they all ran up to mum, this video just cut it short.
Abraham Hagos watch one male lion kills two cheetahs. that is what happens when 2 cheetahs try to kill a male lions cubs. he caught up to them quickly and murdered both male cheetahs. this lion didn't even want to hurt her, he didn't even leave. a lion can kill a cheetah in a second and break it like a stick maybe don't judge animals because if I put you in a cage with a lion you would be crying like a little baby.
XxWinged LionsxX : lol, nonsense. I watched that video. The cheetahs didn't try to kill lion cubs. They were caught by surprise, and one was already wounded by a lion brother.
I just had to pause the video and really take this all in.... but this video IS REALLYYY DRAMATIC LOL "the babies are running.. they don't know where to turn" But yeah, I'm happy they made it out safely :) Yaayy for Mama Cheetah!

The fact that she faced another lion before or after this one and she chased the lion truly shows how a mother does anything for her cubs
Is more character development invested in her great maternal care for her cubs that she had.

Great work BBC!
OMG, it's so cute how the cubs come back to their mom

And only 2 cubs returned.

Firstname Lastname420 actually, that's exactly why they aren't big cats. Big cats can roar
Honey is beyond brave! This is the second time she faced a lion for her cubs.
I love how the cheetahs shoulders move when she walks
The lion is so beautiful! That closeup and the wind though..
Love cheetahs! Such a brave mom!
god bless mothers
I remember this show! I love Honey :)
what a brave mother. i love ceetahs cubs,so cute :)
Beautiful. There really is no love like a mother's love.
or maybe the lion just wanted to mate...lol
OH he wants to crossbreed??????????
Underrated
WHERE IS HER THIRD CUB? By the way so cute the cubs and the mother!
there such beautiful animals!!like if you agree
Big Cat Diary is the best!
wow what a smart and strong mom to lead the lion away like that
ohhh no...poor cheetahs..

No he just gave up

that was also a young male..... If that was a full adult male in his prime it might be a different story.

he'd still have to catch her
@Eli w Its certainly very close to adulthood. The lion has mane but blonde and not that long compare to Adult males that has darker and longer manes.
This is already an adult Lion
ive seen a full grown male yeald to a cheetah
those cubs became lion killers
0:42 in the background:
