The Ngorongoro Crater, located in Tanzania, is home to many species of predators. In particular, lions form a large majority of the predators found here. They live in prides, consisting of a dominant male, several lionesses, and their playful cubs.
"While out on our afternoon safari, we came across a lone lioness. Walking through the long grass with what seemed to be a cub in her mouth. The tiny cub was securely in place in her jaws as she walked without a care in the world."
When it's time to move their young ones to a new den lionesses transport their cubs with utmost care and precision. They gently grip their cubs by the scruff of their necks using their powerful jaws, their offspring are then firmly but gently held. This method not only allows the lioness to carry her cubs effortlessly but also keeps them calm and secure during the journey.
"Suddenly she stopped and put the cub down. She then proceeded to groom and lick her cub as if she were playing with it. But the manner in which she was holding the cub seemed strange. Her front paws served as a cushion for the tiny cub. And her large jaws wrapped around its head. We thought perhaps she was going to pick it up again and move."
"Little did we know this would be the end for this little cub. The lioness began tearing the little cub's head from its body and eating it. Stunned and speechless, we sat watching. Completely taken aback by this bizarre occurrence."
While it is rare, there are instances where lions might resort to cannibalism and consume their own. This behavior is often triggered by extreme circumstances, such as scarcity of food or stress within the family. It is important to remember that these instances are exceptions rather than the norm, as lionesses generally exhibit remarkable maternal care and protection towards their cubs, ensuring the survival of their offspring and the continuation of the pride's lineage.
"In the end, she got up and began walking off as if nothing had happened. The remains of the little cub lay on the floor, and the silence in the game vehicle was eerie."

    It’s heartbreaking watching her go through the process of carrying her actively dying kitten/cub away the safety of her den. There are likely 2-3 siblings back there who are thriving & this mamma instinctively knew she had to keep the scent & cries of death away from them, since it would lure predators in! The kitten was clearly suffering through a slow death with its agonal breaths only coming after long pauses. Momma lovingly gave her last, caring attempts to stimulate regular breathing by powerfully licking the kitten to help move any residual fluid upward, but it was clearly to no avail & the kitten’s death was inevitable! Momma’s final act ended its suffering, ceased its cries- which may have been luring in predators & provided nutrition for a new mom. There was no logic in nature for the mother to leave it there to suffer a prolonged death & quickly become another predator’s meal! It’s a harsh reality, that thankfully we as humans, aren’t forced to make!

    Actually humans do have to make that difficult choice at times but that merciful right was taken away with the end of Roe vs Wade, now parents carrying children who will die shortly after birth must carry the child to term at risk of their health, then rewarded with the agony of watching them struggle to take their last breath. Human beings will never be able to write enough laws to replace decency and common sense.

    It definitely seems like the cub was very sickly and possibly already on its way out; it's strangely limp and mostly unresponsive save for twitches and breathing, despite the lioness trying to stimulate it with grooming, so she decided to put it out of its misery. Poor little thing... but this fate was probably better than just being abandoned to perish by itself. Being a wild animal's tough.

    I have to say that even though this is gruesome, it is a lesson in nature. Even Domestic animals will do this. I have trained dogs since the 70s, and they have a natural instinct to get rid of dead or sick pups. In the wild, it is survival of the fittest and mom, a pride or a pack can't afford to attract more predators than they already do.

She had no choice but to eat the cub AFTER it already died because she can’t leave it and put her other cubs at risk. Mother cats of ANY species DO NOT eat their babies alive! this is done AFTER and is away of “cleaning up”. Same as how they eat the placenta and lick up all blood and stuff from birth.

    Nah, the kid took its last breath on camera on @0:16 and when the arrow points at @1:13 that was his last breath. My theory is that it wasn't her's at all. Seen lionesses kill cubs of other lionesses before BUT never a mother killing their own. If it was sick, they will leave it to die, so many documentaries have shown that before, NEVER has been a documentary where they showed a mother eating its own. Thats just not possible.

If you do please site such evidence as I'm sure there are others out there that would like to know, for I surely would like to know. All the animals and mankind possess some type of emotion and feelings for those around them. As Hunan it's our responsibility to shepherd the animals and our fellow man in times of trouble. We can communicate our need for help animals can communicate that need also if only we take the time to listen. All living things on this planet deserve our respect. We are so wrapped up in our own little world that we ignore the cries for help. It only takes a minute to listen and observe to know what's up. So, if you disagree that's ok.

    The cub was already dead. I’m pretty sure that last couple of twitches were death throws. At this point, she’s recycling, not letting it go to waste, or go to the vultures. That cub will ultimately help feed his siblings. And even if it wasn’t dead, that initial crunch ended it immediately. Nature can be cruel. Shit happens. Hopefully the rest of her litter is alive and healthy.

    Generally the grip they do around the neck for transportation purposes is clearly gentle. In the first 10 seconds the way she holds it feels more like a bite. It also seems like the area that she is licking afterwards has holes from bite marks that matches her previous grip area. I think she is the one that kliled the cub for whatever reason in the first place.

They may not be aloud about their feelings like us, humans, but her feelings of grief was so unmistakable! It was having hiccups after long pause! She had to make such a hard decision to end the suffering and then eat her own cub just to avoid luring other predators, esp hyenas! It is even hard to think what she must have been going through all along, esp. considering that lions are so social animals.

    It may have been attacked earlier by Buffalo, older lion cubs, etc, so she was relocating her den. We saw the cub twitch, I don't think she did. Regardless, we don't know why, but mum had her reasons and I trust her instinct.

    I take it you've never watched lion videos before, because there are tons of them on the internet that feature the gentle, caring, and loving side of lionesses.

    Remember this video when you stumble on comments about how "humans should learn love and kindness from animal kingdom". Most animals in the wild live their lives in constant fear, and at the very end are LITERALLY torn apart and eaten by other animals 🤗

    How do we know it was her cub? Also, the assertion that " lions form a large majority of the predators" in the crater can't possibly be correct. It's highly unlikely lions constitute a majority, let alone a large one. It wouldn't surprise me if spotted hyenas alone outnumber the lions. I'm not aware of any predator census data for the crater or the NCA, but 65 seems to be a common estimate for the crater lion population, a number that no doubt fluctuates considerably. I've seen 34 hyenas together in the crater, i.e. about half the estimated lion population in a single sighting. That was in broad daylight to boot, even though the species tends to be predominantly nocturnal. Then you get all the leopards and jackals.

    Most people commenting on here are absolutely clueless about wild life, let alone about wild life somewhere in Africa (which is probably somewhere East from Russia). On top of that, if everything written or said is taken for granted, we can definitely find out some flying lions and elephants.
