Nothing more powerful and dangerous than a mother protecting her littles ones.

[@peteranzano267]

Lol let’s see if there were 4 males in that coalition instead of 2 and they were a little bit older. Then we’d see who’s more powerful

The two intruding lions got a good look at the four lionesses' expressions...and decided to go away.

The BBC gets a lot of shit over ideological editorializing and its funding, but its wildlife and nature output is really bloody good. Almost enough to make me considering paying for a TV License...almost ;-)

[@LB-my1ej]

They are very juvenile lions who are just probably trying to find their place in a pack

[@qikstar]

Yeah I mean do sub-adult males try to take over prides?

[@user3gw9]

Не решился подойти, лучше в другой раз... Правильно, львица не в настроении) пусть подумает над своим поведением)

[@redwoods7370]

Random dumb question: why are baby lions called cubs and not kittens?

[@ninagude0586]

Bc the word "kitten" is meant for smaller Cats. 😊

[@redwoods7370]

@@ninagude0586 OK, that works for me. Thank you.

[@ninagude0586]

@@redwoods7370 Of course! ☺️

[@youshallnotpass2140]

Where are the males of the pride? Is it to protect the pride from intruders?

[@Mlanjana]

Males are patrolling the territory or visiting another nearby pride belonging to them
