The anguish and loss on her face is heartbreaking. A mother’s heart is broken.

[@asdfjklwaefioj]

That body language is heartbreaking.

[@rishic6701]

Feel bad for her. Even animals have sorrow and her anxiety as a mother shows through.

[@Fitkid7672]

I think they say 1 in 2 cubs make it to adulthood.

She's torn by waiting a bit longer or getting her remaining cub away from being so exposed in the open.

[@jacquesdemolay5171]

A mother's pain is universal.

[@TheEnigmaticDeenTruth]

Well...earthly....not necessarily _universal_

[@nordlord25]

😢very sad video...i felt bad for the mother n the othwr little one....RIP baby cub

[@mikedom771]

Tough break. Very rare seeing a family of cheetahs on a river crossing. Too dangerous for cubs that age

[@Desire123ification]

I am having a feeling it won't be a happy ending! When seconds become minutes with no reply.

[@natemoerman7831]

Always sad to see this kind of stuff. Surviving in the wild is way too difficult, which is just stating the obvious what I'm doing.

[@msraw221]

So sad...now she is just in a lot worry and concern.

[@johnbrown9092]

Thats a shame. Obviously distressed both of them.

[@Archosaur_Dominion]

Sad. I feel sorry for cheetahs as a whole species.

[@dritemolawzbks8574]

They'll be fine. They still have the Cheetos Sponsorship Deal in America.

I might be getting a little too emotional right now, but cheetahs are just amazing animals... Such a powerful and dangerous predator, just like a wild gigantic housecat, a real killing machine!! Brave mother!! That's all about nature at its pure...

[@beverlyrhame3692]

😢another example of why humans need to respect animals and their lives, as they experience the same hardships and struggles that we go through, the way she stands there looking over that water to see and rescue her baby is just heartbreaking😢 And the struggle of that baby omg.

[@Only1forme75]

Looks like even the surviving cub is sad and waiting on it's sibling. Very sad and their sorrow is palpable. Poor cubby

[@tonyrosales915]

Sad way of life for the cheetah.

[@hashimaliahmed3675]

Heartbreaking and emotional

[@spotemgotement.reloaded389]

That cub will be croc food or a hippos chew toy.

[@zubairtanoli1432]

So sad

Тут даже льви рискует переходит переплыть реку, что тут говорить о гепардах!

[@wcrimeusa88]

It's heart-wrenching to hear about a cheetah mother crossing a river with her cubs but losing sight of one of them. The mother cheetah is likely to be in a state of distress and searching for her lost cub. It's not uncommon for young cheetah cubs to get separated from their mothers during migration or while crossing rivers.

Emotional. Heartbreaking 💔💔

[@sethtime9951]

😭😭😭!!!

[@nicholasfoley7105]

Sad all around, also for the lone cub now he'll have to be by himself when mom goes of to hunt. Plus having a sibling increases there skill development with play alot faster. But tgats nature at its rawest.

[@BlokeBritish]

oh boy

I am more inclined to believe that a croc ate that one in a go/gulp

[@priyankukashyap7650]

what made the cheetah to cross the river?

[@Montecristo1805]

Search for prey.

[@dritemolawzbks8574]

They wanted to get to the otherside.

[@islanddweller4263]

They could not fly or take a boat!

[@kabalkakra1555]

very difficult to survive in the wild life always dangerous to live in jungle

[@TzsNatureWithJameelFar]

very sad

[@YesItsReallyKeith]

i think a tiny bridge would be ok... not made for large animals but to protect smaller ones?

[@fearlessj.walker3277]

No

[@dritemolawzbks8574]

Lions, hyenas, and leopards will use that as a fastfood trap.

[@YesItsReallyKeith]

@@islanddweller4263 doesn't take much to trigger you!! no life ?.... it was a simple question !!! so get off you westerner nonsense because it's already done in many places to assist animals in case you didn't know !!!

[@JasonMomos]

You don't frick with laws of nature.

[@DRIVER-SEBVET]

Most likely the latter happened, the cub became croc appetizer 😜 I was thinking she could've been the main course for the Crocs while waiting on the edge of that riverbank...

[@pety6014]

It's called ....the big payback!

[@MsDesiree39]

it'dscalled bnature, you dont have to hunt fr your food but humans eat meat too and they raise cubs alone

[@cheriross4740]

Bad momma..., Shuda had better instincts & known better:(😊

[@MsDesiree39]

many other animals have to cross the river and tend to lose their young, u r a heaqrtless beast

[@seethabrahma6064]

Why can't it be an alligator 🤭

[@BobPimentel73]

Because there are no alligators in Africa.

[@JasonMomos]

Why can't it be aliens or aquaman?
