Safari Sunday: Nursing lion cubs
On one of our afternoons in Chobe, our guide knew where a couple of female lions tended to have their babies hang out during the day. He told us that in the late afternoon they’ll call to the babies to come out so they can see how the cubs are doing, and get them some exercise. So we found the females, and then hung around for a little while.
Not long later, two cubs came toddling out from the brush to their mama. They played and ran around for a bit, then found mama and nursed. We stayed and watched for a while, then moved on.
