There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

#229: Yes, impressive fact to see invariably that, thank to the males, the lionesses are pregnant at the same time, and thus the cubs are of the same age. The pride becomes a "child care". Good for the photos, but perhaps a little stressful stage in life for the lionesses...
I say that, but I don't know...
I think it's amazing to see all the little cubs together.
As for if it's stressful or not, I think it is rather a time of stability for the pride.
After the takeover, after having their cubs killed, their "husbands" kicked out and some of them also killed, the lionesses can now trust this males, they know they will protect them and their cubs, so now I would say there is peace in the family.
