Last month, a video of a mother lion and her cub being all playful had surfaced on the internet. The clip was shared by IFS officer Surender Mehra on Twitter and commemorates World Lion Day. In the video, a mama lion is shown sitting in a large open space as her baby plays around. She gets up as the curious cub ventures a bit too far away from her reach, in order to stop it from going any further. The moment you watch the clip you won't be able to help but fall in love with it. Watch the video here:
