The Best Lion Dad ever

  • Опубликовано: 30 май 2024
  • Although the interactions between male lions and lion cubs are often limited and may not involve any nurturing behavior, this Ngotso pride male (one of the 3 Balule males) is definitely an exception; showing his gentle side. He tolerated the playful cubs all over him; only disciplining them when their sharp claws scratched his face. The second pride male could only tolerate the cubs for a short while; he left to find a secluded spot close by. Not only does this show how lion cubs can interact with male lions but it clearly reflects the difference in personalities of different male lions. The interactions between lion cubs and adult males are a blend of nurturing, teaching, and sometimes disciplining, which are vital for the cubs’ growth and integration into the pride. Understanding these dynamics provides insight into the complex social structures and survival strategies of lions. The territory of the Ngotso lion pride is north of Satara Rest Camp in the Kruger National Park.

      @@lostvampire69I don’t think you know male lions very well. Male lions are normally there for 2 things. Protecting the prides land and bloodline and for sex. They normally just tolerate cubs because it’s their bloodline and they teach them to fight. Male lions have a very short temper unless they are very strong lions like these 2 male lions. They have a strong scent and bloodline and love the cubs because of it.

    Yes that one male didn't take long wanting someplace by himself, not to be bothered. The other one didn't seem to mind to play I'm glad he didn't hurt the cub when he laid all on top of it. They are big beautiful boys. I hope the cubs grow big and strong like their dads. Thank you for sharing this side of males.
