Little lost cubs

[Marc Mol]

Dawn and a pair of 12wk old cubs from the Ilkiseuseu pride found themselves stranded high up in a thicket early one morning following a fracas with the rival Mulibany pride that came in on an Eland kill the pride had made the previous morning.

This pair somehow managed to scramble their way high up and the 3rd cub was separated and it too found it's way high up a Balanite tree, some 100m apart, crying out for Mum.

All three eventually found their way back to Mum but not before some drama filled 12 hrs had passed!

A real life Disney moment
