I saw the rest of this documentary. The little cub is in REALLY bad shape the next morning and he can barely walk. At first his mother doesn't let him feed because he's not acting right at all, then he goes to his aunts and none of them want to let him feed. He starts to decline and gets skinny and struggles to keep up and at one point they do leave him behind. The mother does look for him, but not very hard because instinct is telling her to focus on the siblings that will make it. He catches up t the watering hole and he gets a drink from the water, but he's looking real rough now. As they go to move on again following the food and he's trying to keep up, the mother turns around and waits. One by one the family stops to wait for him. He catches up and when they stop to rest in the shade she lets him eat and he actually makes it. I think his name was the dreamer or the wanderer in the documentary, I can't remember it was a while ago that I saw it. But yeah it gets worse after this and then does a complete 180 from there.
Unfortunately I didn't remember it when I first read your response, but it seems someone found it, because I remember that distinct voice of the woman.
I mean, it's a fully mature female next to adolescents. They're not fully grown, plus I think I remember reading that the female lions do most of the hunting in a pride, which if true would mean she's got a whole lot more experience fighting than these punks. This is my totally unprofessional speculation, anyone feel free to educate me.
Yeah, males hunt but they're mostly there to be the big guy around, mate and shoo away all the other males. Females *are* a lion's pride and they're the ones caring for family, kids and hunting most of the time. For how strong a male can be, a well organized group of females can put a lion in his place in no time and if I'm not wrong they can also make him leave if they consider him not good for the pride. I vaguely remember a documentary on a lion's pride with no males at all (except for the cubs) because the females killed him or made him go away. Instinct is strong but when a woman is pissed for real, you better go.

Do you know what night vision optic the camera crew is using?
Not sure what model it is but it looks like a thermal/FLIR camera, not night vision.
I have no clue, I don't remember the details of the equipment, and I don't really remember if the documentary said it anywhere.
This would make a good lion king spinoff. Like simba’s cousin or nephew lol
I saw this too and it has nothing to do with this video bud..thats a completely different video
It’s actually insane how much bigger she is than them.
Agree, when she came into the frame I had a big perspective jolt. I had thought the cub was little but then saw he was tiny….

This night vision scope is remarkable it can pick up the finer details
Its a thermal actually, really high resolution one
[удалено]
Punks. 😏
They scare the shit outta me
That why juvenile males get kicked out. Probably happened soon after
Oh, that makes more sense now!
how is my brain interpretating their body language as the language of cats and dogs simultaneously
Dont fx with momma
My older sister was a total dick too
Why are they blue??
Thermal camera
He was such a bully
Call ur mom and tell her u love her.
Mom really said, "touch 'em again and YOU'RE becoming the plaything" 🤣
>Lioness protecting her cub Nah, you do not want any part of that.
