Lioness Chases Off Leopard to Protect Cubs and Suffers Tragedy

A young mother lioness is on her way to her den, nervous. She can smell that a leopard passed by recently. A dried gully provides a hidden roadway, used by the female leopard as cover. There's no shared maternal understanding between these two predators. They'll both kill to protect their cubs. The leopard is focused on hunting impala. But the hunter has become the hunted.

[@harrisjnr6553]

Why u not show us the predator that took the cubs?

[@MauroMeneguzzi]

Mais que ouve com os seus bebês leonzinhos 😮

[@smokey_410]

The mane is like body armor during battles, the maneless males have numbers on their side but the nsefu males have mane protection, but battle experience always plays a pivotal role.

[@juanitahamilton9523]

Very sad that she less her clubs

[@smokey_410]

@juanitahamilton9523 That was so unfortunate those pesky hyenas smelled the helpless cubs in the bushes and killed them another reason lions dont hesitate to kill hyenas when they have the chance.
