Asiatic Lion - Data, Pictures & Videos

A remarkable story !!! Some points that caught my attention: the age of only three months, where milk is still part of the diet, the couple of lions, ie the absence of one more female, and the sex of the three cubs - by the two photos posted I would say what are certainly 2 males and 1 with undefined sex (who knows more a male). Hence arise the anecdotal  (important but not measurable) that show that situations and family ties are very strong and can reorient behavior. There is no way to imagine how close this pair of lions was and why not talk about "love" transmitted to the cubs for greater attention to sentimental and blood ties. I do not know why we were so surprised after so much evidence and stories around the world that we see that mammals do not have predictable behavior. Labeling and predicting attitudes is a human invention. What can we say about the information of the naturalist Purvesh Kacha that Bedhia ignored other females while choosing to educate / protect his cubs?
