Lion cub saved by mum on the last moment

Mother are very strong especially clinging on for the dear life. A very good example happened in Kenya's Masai Mara game reserve.

A lion cub fall down a vertical cliff and cries out pitifully for help. His mother then arrives at the edge of the precipice with three other lionesses and a male.

It seems like all the adult lions are discussing how to rescue the cub. The lions start to clamber down together however the cliff is too steep that the other adult lions timidly left.

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

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

One slip could end up dead at the bottom of the ravine. The dramatic rescue captured by wildlife photographer Jean Francois Largot.

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



Minutes later, they arrive and she gives the frightened son a consoling lick on his head.

Happy Feet's tracker got silent.....

Happy Feet the Emperor penguin that was found on a New Zealand beach after wandering thousands of miles from home may be lost forever.

Happy Feet has became an international celebrity after losing his way and ending up in New Zealand is missing and was presumed eaten after being released into the ocean this month.

Concerns were raised over Happy Feet's fate when the tracker device attached to his body stopped sending signals on his trip home to Antarctica. 

Kevin Lay, of Sirtrack, the specialist firm that fitted the tracker, said no signal had been received since Friday, when the penguin was about halfway home. He said it was possible Happy Feet had been eaten, but he remained hopeful.

Lay said the tracker was meant to transmit a signal every time it broke the surface of the water, and had been working perfectly. It was intended to remain attached for months and be shed in the new year moult, but may have fallen off.

Sharks, seals and killer whales are among the creatures known to eat penguins.
