As you might
already know lionesses are very protective of their babies. Well, all mothers
are protective of their babies. Moreover, lionesses hide their babies for like
the first six months after their birth. It is hard for them to defend
themselves or even run from another predator at this age.
But that doesn’t
count their own fathers. Male lions usually drive their cubs out of pride, but
that’s after two years. Until then, even the king of the jungle cannot resist
those playful cubs.

In this case
however, this father lion caught by the lioness fighting with their daughter.
Not actually ‘fighting’ fighting, just playfully fighting with the cub. Unfortunately
lioness didn’t tolerate this behavior. She immediately broke up the fight to
‘scold’ the father. Maybe she thought the papa lion is being too rough with the
cub.

The cub is named
Lusaka. As any cub would, she also is very fond of her father. She drags her
father into playing with her as she runs around while her father is chasing
her. It doesn’t take much longer to father to knock her down and then there
were fighting as Lusaka trying her best to beat her dad and stand on her feet
again. That is when the lioness spotted them and broke up the fight. These
photos are captured by Jennifer Lockridge.
