Lion cub leads ranger to dead mother

Jimbuna · 08-12-14, 09:07 AM

I appreciate nature will always take its course but I found myself saddened when I read this.

Quote:

A lion cub has led forest rangers to its mother's corpse in an Indian sanctuary, an act described by officials as very unusual behaviour.

A forest guard, who saw the cub hiding in the bushes, followed it and went on to discover the body on a nearby hill.

The cub then guarded his mother until the ranger returned with forest and police officials to remove the carcass.

He will reward your kindness one day by eating you for breakfast.

Before that he'll drain your bank account thanks to food costs.I bet a growing lion cub eats at least 20 pounds of meat a day.It would be like having 10 teenage sons.
