A photographer captured this dramatic scene as a lion cub cried out for help on the side of a cliff. The pride quickly came to his rescue, with mom putting her own life on the line to grab the little guy before he fell even further. Motherly love is a beautiful thing.

A cub struggles on the side of a cliff, crying out for help from his mommy.

Mommy and other lionesses scramble to help the little one…

Mom to the rescue!

She’s got the little one, safe in her jaws 

No punishment, just some love to make sure the little guy is okay. Beautiful motherly love 

A lot of humans could take note of what this lioness did for her cub. It’s unconditional love.
