Wildlife photographer captures lion rescuing helpless cub from falling to its death



Other members of the pride attempt to rescue the cub but stop trying when they realize it is too steep.







Just as the exhausted cub seems about to fall, his mother circles beneath him and he is snatched up in her jaws, according to the Daily Mail. She then begins the difficult journey back to the top.





Safe and sound, the lioness gives the cub a big welcome-back lick.



Being a mother is not all about giving birth, it starts within the heart.
