29-year-old Cameron Schmidt, the System Head Ranger at Pumba Private Game Reserve, captured this cute and playful sighting on camera. Cameron shared the sighting with LatestSightings.com.
"It was a typical day at Pumba; we had found the resident lion pride when I noticed the big dad lion resting, with the rest of his pride nearby, and the cubs playing in the thicket." The playful cubs, full of curiosity, decided to explore their surroundings until eventually, their father's flicking tail caught their attention.
The dad lion's tail was swishing back and forth, not out of playfulness, but because of the flies buzzing around the kill they had just made. However, to the mischievous cubs, this moving tail seemed like the perfect plaything. They kept sneaking up on it, pouncing, and pulling, totally focused on its movement.
The dad lion, trying to rest, grew a bit grumpy with this game, he was losing out on some precious sleep. He let out a few growls, hoping to teach his little ones a lesson and chase them off. But the cubs, much like naughty kids, weren't easily discouraged. They would take a few steps back reassess, and come right back and start all over again!
Finally, after a few more attempts at tail-catching the cubs got brave enough to grab it with their teeth, that’s when the dad had enough! He jumped up in frustration and that was when the little cubs decided that it was best if they stopped. They ran off, like little rascals that have been caught red-handed. You could even hear their playful chatter, responding to their dad's shouting, as they moved on to find new games to play.
"We're one of the few reserves in the Eastern Cape, similar to Sanbona in the Western Cape, to have free-roaming white lions." Contrary to some beliefs, these white lions are not albinos but have a genetic condition known as leucism, giving them a distinctive appearance with eye colors ranging from green to blue.
"These lions, including the white ones, are thriving here. They're experienced hunters, having taken down prey as large as giraffes. Despite their bright white color, they seem to still find a way to stalk and hunt their prey in the green eastern Cape landscape."

Lion Dads are very much protective of his cubs no matter if it’s in wild or captivity. In wild they play hard to build killer instincts among cubs and in captivity they show affection.
The cubs are absolutely cute and adorable!🤗
Cubs: "Moooom, we're so bored! What can we do?" Lioness: "I think your dad has been sleeping for more than twenty hours. Go wake him up. Gently, I mean." Cubs: "Yes, mom!"
That lion may look like he's playing but really he's just really trying to nap, and those cubs were getting on his nerves 😂. Pretty cool sighting!!
Golden and White cubs they all are so cute....love them so much.❤😃
These cubs are just so cute and adorable 🥰 This is what family life is about - kids playing, dads trying to sleep 🤩 It was funny the way they did a runner when dad got up 😂 Love you guys ❤

White lions are very rare, and it's even more rare that one makes it to adulthood. There is only 1 adult white lion in the world and his name is Casper. Many lion cubs perish, and white lion cubs even more so because they lack camouflage. I am hoping this one will make it!

怎麼能這麼可愛啦😂
Gorgeous looking male lion.
Lions never seem to work out that lashing their tail around makes it even more attractive as a toy.
So cute and sweeties 😊
Literally Simba and Nalaa
Aww, they are sooo cute and fluffy
I'm 61 years old, but that reminds me of my older brother and myself pestering my dad when he was napping on a Sunday afternoon
I enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
so adorable and beautiful!
Wow a white lion cub!!!
I am overcome with cuteness!
Love how the people recording this got such a kick out of it.
I like the end where they all casually saunter off. They know not to push that one any further so they'll see what other mischief they can get up to round the next corner.
The lion's growl is cool.
This is adorable 😊
Il est tellement mignon le petit Blanc
Simba: Dad! Wake up! Dad! DAD! Sarabi: Your son is awake. Mufasa: Before sunrise he’s your son. Simba: Dad, come on! You said I could patrol with you today. And today has started. You promised! You up? Mufasa: (Yawns) And Simba and Mufasa went off.
When you hungover AF but the wife told you to play with the kids
So adorable and beautiful 🦁🐾🐾🐾💗🙏
😂He was wagging his tail to ward whatever was disturbing him but it only attracted them more towards it.
Even lion snoring is impressive.
Simba : Dad , I just cant wait to be king Mufasa : Forgive me for not leaping for joy , bad back you know.
Thank you so cute and funny❤
I love they way they think his tail is a toy.
The graphics for the new lion king looks neat
Adorable ❤
Nap time is sacred 😅
Kids are kids, very naughty and funny. Dad awake and ran away 😅
Very beautiful video.
Such cute kitties
That sounds means "WTF DO YOU WANT MF!" in Ebonics
Literally Simba and Nala 😍😍
why is this the best thing eva
This is animals in general, even humans. Parenting is hard lol
The two cubs in the back are like "Bro.. are you crazy messing with father like that?"
Been here before. "Go away I'm sleeping!" "But Daaaaaadddd!!!!!" "Sigh..."
This is gold😂
Gonna get you, daddy!!❤❤
Simba?! Nala!!
"Your son is awake" "Until sunrise he's your son"
"Will you kids knock it off!? I am TRYING to sleep!" "Oh no, Dad's mad! Run!" "It wasn't me, Dad, I swear!" Humans, lions, doesn't matter. Kids'll be kids!
Adorável fofos ❤❤❤😊
The thumbnail looks like Simba & Nala bothering Mufasa.
Best video of 2024
Dad is saying shoo get away as he sleeps with his tail 😂
Doesn't matter if they're 2 pounds or 500+ pounds. Cats will be cats, and kittens will be kittens! 😅😂🤣
That "Kimba" cub is so cute.
Well he will keep waving it around!
He was like “LET ME SLEEP!”
Omg they look exactly like Simba and Nala!
Dad lion tails look like they were made to look specifically like that to be the cubs' toy lol 😂
Aaaw so cute ❤
