Did he even see the cub? Awww and mom looks sad, like, sorry son, your dad's confused right now. And cub looks like, see mom, he don't wanna meet me! Lol
For those who are saying things about running away, it was the first time Victor saw Nestor. Of course, he'd be tense. And those lionesses, his daughter and mate didn't make things easy on him. He was old and it kept getting difficult for him to stand up. Victor and his mate both died in the last year and Nestor took his dad's place. But Nestor isn't Victor's first cub. Victor had a few litters and Nestor was his last.
Oh and for those who are saying stuff about responsibility and child support. What the hell? These are animals. You know what sort of responsibility a lion has towards a cub in the wild? Staying in power till that cub is old enough that it is not killed off when another male is in power. They don't have cuddle their young, they need to make sure the litters that are born reach maturity before he dies. And about those two, Nestor was the only one of the other three Victor got along with given that he went easy on the older lion.
GG lions maintain physique through pregnancy. Or else in the wild they’d be screwed. She’s overweight for one of two reasons, she is a rescue from private ownership or the zoo is incompetent. Judging by the male’s good physique, she is prob a rescue.
These animals should be in the wild where they belong now penned in for the enjoyment of humans. Even in the wild they are followed by people in jeeps taking photos and shouting and laughing even when with cubs.
@@HanskeVD yes they will because many have been rescued from zoos and taken to a safari sanctuary where they can live a more normal life that they should have.
The issue with that is that most lions in zoos are born and bred in captivity. If you were to release them into the wild, they wouldn't have the skills necessary to survive and would die. It's a common issue with most animals.
@@sarahtovar9924 - That's the rare exception, not the rule. If I recall it right, it was an area where there weren't any other Lions around to compete with. Even then, it was 4 or 5 Lions they released. Not very many. There's no way they could release all the Lions from sanctuaries/zoos and expect them to survive. I do wish the Lion population would increase. There were 450,000 of them about 50 years ago. Now there's about 20,000. That's a 95% decrease in population. Human development and poaching are the 2 main reasons. It would be nice to increase their population, but releasing them from zoos won't do it.
No she has just produced a single cub but being a lioness her body prepared to be a mother of at least three. So she has bit more of fat and her lactifrous ducts are full so she is looking obese.
@@vaska1999 really? Wow, I had no idea. All I know is that a Liger is the offspring of a Female Lioness and a Male Tiger, while a Tigon (I believe it's called) is the offspring of a Female Tiger and Male Lion.
