Mother Lion Rescues Baby Lion Cub Pictures and Story

Clinging on for dear life to the side of a vertical cliff, the tiny lion cub cries out pitifully for help.

His mother arrives at the edge of the precipice with three other lionesses and a male. The females start to clamber down together but turn back daunted by the sheer drop.

Eventually one single factor determines which of them will risk her life to save the youngster - motherly love.

The drama begins: The mother arrives at the edge of the cliff as her son cries out for rescue after being trapped when he slipped.

On the brink: Four lionesses look over the edge before aborting their rescue mission because of the sheer drop.

Slowly, agonizingly, the big cat edges her way down towards her terrified son, using her powerful claws to grip the crumbling cliff side.

One slip from her and both animals could end up dead at the bottom of the ravine.

Just as the exhausted cub seems about to fall, his mother circles beneath him and he is snatched up in her jaws.

She then begins the equally perilous journey back to the top. Minutes later, they arrive and she gives the frightened creature a consoling lick on the head.

The dramatic rescue, captured by wildlife photographer Jean-Francois Largot, was played out in Kenya's Masai Mara game reserve.

Despite the presence of wardens to deter poachers, day-to-day life for the lions is not without its dangers, as the cub learned the hard way.

Rescue mission: The mother inches her way down the cliff face to rescue the terrified cub before locking him in her jaws and making her way back up the cliff face.

Motherly love: The mother gives her son a lick to say that all is well in the pride following the drama.

A pilot's perspective on Obama - Obama slander email

Never bothered to fact check these but I already see errors in this anti Obama email.

Determination: written and circulated by white, mostly Jewish persons with fear and discrimination of Blacks, Muslims and Atheists. “If they are not my color or don’t pray to my god they must be bad”

Do I have this straight?

His father was a black African Muslim from Kenya. We have seen pictures of his African family.

His mother was a white American atheist from Kansas. Where are the pictures of his American family?

His father deserted his mother when he was only two years old and went back to Africa by way of Harvard University. How? Was his father wealthy?

His mother married an Indonesian Muslim and then moved to Jakarta where he was enrolled in a Muslim school.

When he reached high school age his mother sent him to Hawaii to be with his white grandparents and he was put into an expensive private school. He later went to Harvard University. How? Were his grandparents rich?

He lives in a $1.4 million house obtained through a deal with a wealthy fundraiser. How?

He 'worked' as a civil rights activist in Chicago. He has never held a productive job or received a pay check that was not government-funded and/or taxpayer supported.

The presidency is not a civil rights position, nor is it subject to affirmative action set asides; on-the-job training won't cut it.

He entered politics at the state level and then the national level where he has minimal experience.

He is proud of his 'African heritage' (a father who got a white girl pregnant and deserted her).

Where is the pride in his 'white heritage'? (a mother who flaunted convention and did not believe in god).

Some might think there was not much to be proud of either way.

He belongs, and has belonged for over 20 years, to an 'afro-centric' church in Chicago that hates whites, hates Jews, and blames America for all the world's perceived faults. (Including creating the aids virus in order to inflict it on Africans).

He repeatedly whitewashes the pastor, his church and the members who cheered after hearing vitriolic tirades against America.

He could not confront his pastor but he wants us to believe he can confront north Korea and Iran?

During his very brief time in the United States senate he has managed to amass the number one ultra liberal voting record out of the one hundred members.

He has voted consistently for bigger government and higher taxes. He has voted for big entitlements and legislation that would severely curtail America 's ability to fight terrorism and to protect our borders and our national interests around the world.

But, he is a good orator. Isn't that a comfort?

Yeah, i think i see how well he could unite the country.

I think the truth is that he hopes no one will put the pieces together.

Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to our new chief pilot. He has never flown an airplane, in fact he has never even sat in the cockpit, but he says he has ridden on planes before. We are sure he will guide us safely through the storms we may encounter on this flight.

People what are you thinking? Have you never heard the story about the wolf hiding in sheep's clothing so he can destroy them from within? The hand writing is on the wall, do you not have eyes to see it?

Think long and hard before you vote for this guy! Consider your kids & grandkids their future is in our voting hands.
