We spotted a pride of lions sleeping on top of the kopjes in the Serengeti, and as we got closer to the rocks, we saw that there were quite a few cubs in that pride. The best moment was when three of the young cubs started chasing, playing and biting their mom’s tail as if they were kittens that were playing with yarn. I can’t remember when was the last time that I laughed so hard as I did watching these guys.
Reminds me of scenes from Big Cat Tales, which was on Animal Planet last week.
Oh, I’d watch that. As long as they’re being cute and not out on a hunt! That I couldn’t watch.
