Lions are known as some of the most ferocious animals on the planet, so a tender moment between a father and his cub captured on camera in the wilds of Africa is generating a lot of buzz.

How very special for the photographer! She learned so much about the pride and now she's passing on that info to us! Cheers to her and to the mama lioness for keeping her lion in check when meeting his son for the first time....AWESOME!! Thnx Cher!!

Better than the Lion King (only kidding). He is so majestic and it is a lovely interaction. What a great job to have-I am completely envious.

Makes 'ya wonder how such caring animals can then go on a killing spree to eliminate the cubs of rival males, or if you think about it, they became "Pride Males" by killing the offspring of the males that preceded them.

After a group of African lion males takes over a pride they will kill all lion cubs currently in the pride.

Female lions prefer their pride to have a large male coalition because it reduces the number of cubs lost to infanticide at take-overs.
