    This, ladies and gentlemen, is pure courage. She's young, traumatized and completely alone, which is the most abnormal thing for lionesses. And yet, she goes out to investigate. She's a heroine.

      @@melodiefrances3898 I’m reiterating what they say on this channel. I’m a neuromusculoskeletal medicine physician so I agree with you however that is not what the channel says. Look for another video of her and read the description. If it’s due to brain damage, it will require much more than physical activities for her to “fully” recover. Hope you’re doing really well now Melodie.

      What happened? Except for the head, all movements of this lioness look completely disturbed, especially those of the hind legs. Was this lioness still stunned or what?
      If not, then this lioness needs more than just grass under her paws.
      The hind legs or the pelvis seem to be damaged. A cripple, but grass under his paws?
      I don't mean caution and restraint in the new environment. I mean the apparently disturbed movement sequences and interaction of muscles and joints. I have animals myself and know what it looks like normally. Even if an animal is cautious, frightened or reserved in a new environment. This means that the interaction of muscles and joints is completely independent of this.
      What we see here, especially concerning the hind legs, is a bit fishy.
      Don't get me wrong, I love animals and prefer to see them in the wild. I also think it's good when animals are helped.

      @@vvelvettearss I think you misunderstand the intended meaning of the word belong. The word can have two meanings. Belong can either, as you interpret it, mean _current_ _or_ _recent_ _home_ . It can also be interpreteded as _where_ _should_ _be_ which I expect is the inteded meaning - that is big cats should not be put in cages.

Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet."
