Humans are animals. And of course a large amount of other animals are going to be better parents? Why do we have this ingrained idea that humans are somehow better than other animals, sure we passed them on the evolutionary scale, but that doesn't mean we have better morals than them; we came from the exact same situation as these beautiful animals.

Honey the female cheetah has by far one of the best character developments out of any other cheetah star that undergoes this amazing behaviour of her, when she was defending her 3 cubs against a huge male lion by standing her ground towards him and that is the pure definition of brave mother cheetah from big cat diary with the heart of a lion by taking a risk for her survival of her cubs. Best and most iconic moment from Big Cat Diary ever.

male lions fan and will kill cheetahs. It happens all the time. Usually they're young, but if you watched Big Cat Diary, they state clearly that only 1/4 of cheetahs born live to adulthood. In another episode, I don't remember if it was Honey or Amber, a cheetah mother returned to an area after losing her cub where they discovered its body. It was determined that the cub was indeed killed by a lion. My point here is it happens all the time.

I saw this on tv too, I'm still shocked that Honey stood up to the lion like that, but I'm glad she did. Good for her, cheetahs rule!

I love how he says "they're absolutely terrified" as if he actually knows what's going on in a baby cheetah's head. They could be thinking about clouds for all he knows.

Honey is beyond brave! This is the second time she faced a lion for her cubs.

That's a smart cat, that mother. She was just trying to distract and delay the lion enough to let her cubs get away and she new she could out run him when he came towards her. She never intended to fight. Only to get respect and help her cubs.

I love how the cheetahs shoulders move when she walks

To those complaining about narration, this is a series and he has followed these animals for years and basically is emotionally tied to them. His reactions are genuine. He is also articulate, maybe thats why you dont like it?

i love happy endings

That’s one of the downsides of being a nature presenter, you can’t intervene or interfere, even if an entire family will be massacred, as nearly happened here.

Omg I remember watching this show with my mom when I was a kid *sniff sniff* the memories 😭

I like how the lion stopped as soon as the cheetah got up, the lion did not underestimate her.

"it was a truly amazing escape" *only two cubs left*

cheetahs are food competition. If those cubs live to adulthood they will be fighting for the same food him and his family will be fighting for. Which is why lions often attack/kill other predators in their territory

cubs are like mom yes you saved us you are a hero

gotta respect MOMs, they give us life and are willing o risk theirs for us !

If caught they stand no chance against lions. That doesn't mean they're done for upon meeting every time, as you can see. There was one where a mother scared the heck out of the lions approaching her den, she ran after them slapping the ground, I'm not sure the lions understood it was a cheetah and not something else because they ran like heck! LOL I have seen lions kill cheetahs, they do not kill other cats like they would prey, they pretty much bite and rip them apart. Often cheetah's are killed by getting their skulls or spines broken, not suffocated. They are treated very much differently than prey would be.

@sylverclaws

9 жыл бұрын

***** It's always possible. lol Food(or protecting a food source), territory, protecting cubs...they don't think like humans, they could very well consider them cub killers even if they aren't, and it's not unheard of for cheetah's to try to kill lion cubs(it's been seen before, though very rare). Who knows what the lions actually think of them and why. =) Could be all of the above.

I remember watching this when it was on t.v. Love it, loved every episode :) I did hear they were doing another Big Cat Diary, I hope they are. We get some brilliant nature programmes on the BBC

Love the BBC. The best at natural history

It's a motherhood that gave her strength to face that beast.

Already seen this. 1.The female was caught extremely off guard. 2. The Male Cheetah was either sick or injured, this was even explained in the documentary. Lions can not catch a Cheetah in normal circumstances.

Anyone else notice that there were only 2 cubs at the end?
