In order to save the youngster, the lioness risked her life.
There is no point in shouting about “mother’s love” anymore. Most people know how far a mother will go to protect her child.
In the animal world, however, maternal self-sacrifice is not uncommon among many kinds of animals .Photographer Jean-François Largo captured incredible images in Kenya’s Masai Mara reserve, according to the Daily Mail.
This image shows how a mother lion cub falls onto a cliff. She was risking her own life to save her young. An error by the mother would have meant death for both of them.
Initially, three adult lions were supposed to assist the infant. However, the other two retreated, as the cliff was too steep for their long and tenacious claws.
She had the courage to lift her kid in her teeth, bending down on her knees to save him.
The picture session demonstrates how little we know about animals and their altruistic acts.
