Here’s an incredible sequence of shots attributed to Jean-Francois Largot in which a lion cub is rescued by its mother from a deep river gully in Kenya’s Masai Mara where migration safaris are the big attraction.
|
...mother deliberates from the top of the river bank whilst the cub calls for help and hangs on tight... |
|
|
...things are getting precarious as the mother tries to get down to the stricken cub... |
...she retreats back up the bank whilst the cub hangs on in quiet desperation... |
|
...aunts and an uncle watch on as the mother prepares for another attempt... |
|||
|
...the lioness is nearly there but the cub's seriously rattled by now... |
...as the cub loses his grip he's snatched by the scruff of the neck! |
||
|
...and she beats a powerful and hasty retreat up to safety... |
|
Now if she could speak what would this lioness be saying? |
