As all mothers know, when a child craves attention there is little time for rest.
The accompanying footage, captured by Nombekana Safaris and Wildlife Photography, shows a lion cub sweetly nudging a lioness, presumably its mom, as she tries to nap in South Africa’s Kruger National Park.
Rodney Nombekana captioned the video: “Watch when lioness trying to sleep and the cub is having none of it.”
Among the top comments:
—“Motherhood… no matter the species is always the same.”
—“Delightful piece of film! Mum was so patient with the cub. Equally cub was needing her attention!”
—“Absolutely adorable! So amazing to see the playfulness of the cub. Great vid thank you.”
Nombekana’s tour company specializes in day trips and informs prospective guests on its website:
“Our safaris ensure that you maximize the time you have in the national park as we are the first in the park and last out. This is important as most animals especially the cats are active early morning and late afternoon and by driving with us your chances of seeing magic happen is increased tremendously.”
