Lioness Gives Her Cubs a Swimming Lesson

In this video, shot at Kicheche Camps in Kenya, we see how a lioness helps introduce her cubs to their surroundings. Leading her cubs to a freshly-killed topi, she forges on ahead, letting the young ones work out for themselves how to make their way across the stream. Famously averse to getting wet, one by one the cubs are forced to take the plunge as their hunger gets the better of them. Next time, they probably won’t hesitate. Credit: YouTube/Kicheche Camps
