A Mother's Love
I received another amazing email just in time to share for Mother's Day. I've titled this post "A Mother's Love" in honor of all mothers.
Clinging on for dear
life to the side of a vertical cliff,
the tiny lion cub cries
out pitifully for help.
His mother arrives at
the edge of the precipice with
three other lionesses
and a male.
The females start to
clamber down together but
turn back daunted by
the sheer drop.
Eventually one single
factor determines
which of them will risk
her life to save
the youngster -
motherly love.
The drama begins:
The mother arrives at
the edge of the cliff as her son
cries out for rescue
after being trapped when he slipped
On the brink:
Four lionesses look
over the edge before
aborting their rescue
mission because of the sheer drop.
Slowly, agonizingly,
the big cat edges her
way down towards her
terrified son,
using her powerful
claws to grip the crumbling cliff side.
One slip from her and
both animals could end up
dead at the bottom of
the ravine.
Just as the exhausted
cub seems about to fall,
his mother circles
beneath him
and he is snatched up
in her jaws.
She then begins the
equally perilous
journey back to the
top. Minutes later,
they arrive and she
gives the frightened
creature a consoling
lick on the head.
The dramatic rescue,
captured by wildlife photographer
Jean-Francois Largot,
was played out in
Kenya's Masai Mara game
reserve.
