Mother Cheetah Chases Away Male Lion Who Is 3 Times Her Weight And Trying To Eat Her Cubs
Mothers don't leave their babies. This is so true with this mother cheetah, whose heroics have been caught on camera as she disregarded her safety to protect her cubs from a big male lion.
"I was on a usual drive tour when we were observing a leopard and her pups when a male lion emerged out of a bush not far from us," said Saruni, who stopped his car 130 meters away.
The lion was strolling around his territory waiting for the prey when he spotted the cheetah and her cubs. His plan was to separate the mother from her babies, and it seemed that the hunter could do it without difficulty.
