    I like that the first cub is attacking the Lioness with his front paw, it tries to hit her, that's so great, at least it died like a lion, fighting.

    +vic Jas I really admire the fact that the lioness choose not to go straight for the kill to certify the kill and have it be the least struggle possible, it was so sexy if you ask me. Look for when it shoots for the kill and when it doesn't... It doesn't sexually arouse me but intelligently i guess.

    +vic Jas they always do, that's what makes them lions. I saw a film where a cape buffalo bull killed a lion cub, and it was trampled, mortally wounded, and the bull put his nose close to sniff it, and the cub bit it right on it's snout with it's last strength. The bull then stomped it some more and it was dead.

    Too bad there's no way in finding out why or what triggered her. Maybe if scientists/researchers study her brain when she dies to see if she has any brain tumor or abnormalities to gain some insight. Or she's simply just a pyscho lioness as someone suggested. I wish someone (lion, lioness, rancher) would have stopped her....

    He went out fighting. What do you not understand about that statement? I didn't say that the cub hit, scratched, bit, or hurt the other animal. Going out fighting has more to do with heart, attitude, and mentality rather than how many points scored. But then again, I wouldn't expect anyone with your amount of brain cells to know that. Anyone who attacks a person for having an opinion HAS to be the true moron. Bye, bye troll.

    I've never seen a lioness kill a cub but I noticed the one little cub being very aggressive toward her before she finally snagged it up,I don't know if it would have made any difference had the cub shown more submissiveness?I wonder if the lioness interpreted the aggressiveness of the cub as a sign that it was a threat somehow? IDK hard to watch though.

    Sadly, nothing could have helped the cubs. That first one would have been killed no matter what it did. It was doing what it did (clawing, trying to roar) in a desperate attempt not to be killed by the lioness and hopefully scare it off but there was no chance of that, it was too small to threaten the lioness. The lioness was just waiting for the right opportunity to strike.

    No offense but the guy that was with you seemed baffled by this when it's simply how they express dominance. A mother lion will rarely, and I mean rarely, raise a cub that is not her own, not from the male that impregnated her. These are 2 conflicting prides. It's similar to why a lot of animals will kill a mother's babies before impregnating her with their own babies. Just nature.

    +Brandon G Not quite. It is kind of weird, considering they are two sub prides yet related to each other. The cubs' father is the same father of the cubs of the larger pride. And not only that, but it's common for lionesses to care for cubs regardless if they are the mothers or not. The narrator commented on how strange it was and even the other lions were a little confused by the lioness's behavior.

    What's frightening are the comments of people that find empathy "annoying"... The Lions aren't monsters. Humans that can view this and feel nothing are the real monsters. Worse yet, are the ones that seem to express annoyance at the man that clearly has a heart in this video. Wouldn't it be absolutely enlightening if their children were murdered by lions and we told them, "get over it, it's nature. your crying is annoying."

    +d314j4 The licking part is actually to remove the fur from the skin. Lions actually have a very rough tongue like other predators. Its like a sand paper. It removes the fur from the skin before biting a hole onto skin to eat the flesh inside. You noticed that lioness was sniffing and making bitter face .. its because it finds the cub to be repulsive somehow ..something they detest. Its not something that they usually encounter and they are confused, they know that its not one of their own as the cubs smell different... the different smell of the cubs makes them very agitated !!! Therefore they just kill it .. only thing they know to do. They make the same type of bitter face when killing hyenas too. Their sworn enemy. Hyenas are repulsive to them as they kill their young cubs so they always kill hyenas as much as possible 'cos of what Hyenas can do to their pride. Just check other video clips and you will know what I mean ..

I have seen 4 male lions crack the spinal cord and eat both of a rival male lions rear legs before he was even dead. watching a beautiful male Lion die like that was 20 times harder to watch than this common occurrence. I love it when people say this has never been recorded. lol
