Mama lioness comes to the rescue of a tiny cub in Kenya's Masa Mara park.
These photos, taken in Kenya's Masai Mara National Park, show a lion cub who falls down a steep ravine. The little cub struggles but looks like it will fall further.
Other lions try to rescue the little tyke but they find the cliff too steep.
The mama lioness comes to the rescue by going down the treacherous slope and bringing her little one back up. She carries it in her mouth and then gently grooms it afterwards.

See the video

It proves that, mother goes to any extent possible with courage to protect her child, risking her life. No matter the type of species, the mother belongs to.
 
RAVI Sir
The same lioness mother when a male lion kills its cubs, does not venture to protect them?
 

Infanticide is a common practice in most mammals. Male lions use infanticide to get rid of offspring in a newly acquired pride

that are not genetically related to the male coalition. Solitary males are also capable of killing the offspring of an encountered

pride. Female lions have also been observed to kill cubs from a rival pride, but they would never kill cubs from their own pride.

The dead offspring are sometimes consumed as an energy source and other times they are simply just eradicated for the sake

of it. Older cubs and sub-adults have a better chance of being able to escape incoming infanticidal males than younger cubs.

P.S: An interesting observation - Female Lions can Identify Potentially Infanticidal Males...

story.
