The majestic lion is the king of the jungle! The lion is the most feared predator in the animal world.
No matter how big or mighty, even lion cubs can make their parents sob. This stunning moment was captured by wildlife photographer Suzi Eszterhas during an exhibition in Kenya’s Masai Mara National Reserve. Even these wonderful moments will melt your heart!
Lionesses avoid keeping infants near males. But this proud father looked like a gentle giant when he first met one of his children.
The baby seemed uncomfortable at first around his father, but the adorable little creature, just 7 weeks old, finally mustered up the courage to approach the big man. The duo seem to have found time to play and fight together.
A 36-year-old photographer from California spent several months tracking them in the Masai Mara. She said how proud she was to witness every moment of the incredibly intimate scenes.
According to her, newborn animals are always difficult to photograph, but you have to spend a lot of time just waiting for them to be released, disappearing in the tall grass and deep bushes.
This adorable cub and his two other siblings were first spotted by Suzi when he was just 3 weeks old! Usually, cubs spend the first two months of their lives attached to their protective mother. When these cubs were seven weeks old, their mother decided they were ready to meet their dad.
Suzi has to follow the herd for three months every day, from sunrise to sunset, from the time the cubs are 3 weeks old. In these scenes, their mother leads them out of the den to meet pride for the first time, including their father.
The majestic male is extremely affectionate and protective of his cubs, while the mother always keeps an eye on them! Just to make sure the male isn’t being too rough with his cubs.
Suzi says that the young are a bit shy and timid, but the father is very gentle with him. He responds gently by playing with them like a father and often growling. However, the mother was sitting nearby, watching them intently and ready to excite the father!
