A Lioness Carries Her Cub to a New Den, Kenya

This is a photo of a lioness carrying a cub in her mouth to a new den.

A few months ago I posted a photo of this lioness carrying her cub. This is a different photo and I cropped it to better show their faces, especially the little cub’s tongue hanging out of its mouth. The photo was taken in the Ol Kinyei Conservancy, Kenya.

Lioness with Cub, Ol Kinyei Conservancy, Kenya

This is a photo of a lioness carrying her cub to a new location.

A lioness carries her cub to a new den in the Ol Kinyei Conservancy, Kenya. Mother lions normally keep their new cubs away from the pride for the first six to eight weeks of life and move them fairly frequently during that period to minimize the ability of other wildlife to smell where they are.
