To hear the purrs from the father cat ! Beyond wonderful!❤️🐾

[@marceld8961]

I don’t think big cats can purr that’s what they say, but it definitely sounds like the dad is purring.

Daddy's got some battle scars..but still so BEAUTIFUL💙

[@ameloiserago706]

Their dad is their ultimate idol. Even a beast packed with testosterone had a gentle side when it comes to his cubs. Adorable scene. ❤️

[@thenoseknows9391]

You need to remember a LOT of father Lions kill their cubs, unfortunately 🤮🤮😭😭🤮🤮

[@armcollector5856]

​@@thenoseknows9391 that's really other male lions that kick dad out & move on in. I could be wrong, but I think it's mostly when another make comes for his breeding rights & everything that comes with it.

[@TheCeciD]

@@armcollector5856 you’re correct.

[@TheCeciD]

@@thenoseknows9391 nope they don’t, the outsider male lion is the one who would kill the cubs in order to mate with the lioness and create its own cubs after taking over the pride from the former “father” lion.

[@armcollector5856]

@@TheCeciD thank you... sometimes the internet can have u second guess u self lol, bc u know u right but when u start to see other crazy comments u may say "well maybe I'm wrong" but I knew I wasn't with this and should've just said so!! Anyways hope u enjoy u Sunday!!

[@bonjovirocks24]

Baby cubs are so enamored by their majestic fathers!!

[@TNRadventure]

The scars on his face are a map of all the battles he has been through to protect those cubs.

[@miltonmoore8369]

They were more likely inflected by lionesses protecting former cubs FROM HIM. Male lions are notorious for murdering their offspring to drive the females into estrus faster so he can pass on his genes.🥺😫🙈😱😨

[@TNRadventure]

@@miltonmoore8369 Actually male lions are notorious for killing other males' offspring when they take over a pride. But you don't see any lionesses there do you. Because they are his offspring and he is going to protect them

[@minfamilie4319]

He actually fell off a tree and hit every branch. Glad he's ok 👍🏻

[@robertsullivan4773]

And their Mom's, it's a pride and his job is pride security.

[@dkuhs]

Nothing like a lion protecting his pride . 🦁❤️🐾

[@TheLirJEt86]

That pops has been through battles and still very gentle. Big man wins in life

[@serenascott2987]

I love seeing lion dad's with their cubs. It's the only time they let loose for a few and relax.

[@FyreStartr]

They actually don’t like them. Their basic instinct is to protect their genes. Even when the male Cubs become of age they then become rivals and are exiled. The female lions actually have a certain affinity for the Cubs more than the male lion.

[@jeanetteporter8114]

Yea you see how gentle he is

[@jasonmark3448]

This is why he has all those scars....KING

[@L.M.O.]

@ Jason, Yes lion' s scars are from Battles!! But isn' t the God-given role of the Male to be the provider/protector. The role for the Female mate to be a helper & companion for the male. That' s WHY the reversal of gender' s roles is so confusing here/whether it' s, "LIONS" or "HUMANS".

[@Dethroned-king]

Thats why he is the king

[@L.M.O.]

@@Dethroned-king So he can get beat up protecting his cubs while he baby sits them? Because he certainly is not out there "hunting". Getting food for family, or protecting them from other predators... Like that' s how he's getting beat up. NO afraid not,---@ least not today. He needs to be hunting & let the young Cubs be tended after by mommy!!

[@L.M.O.]

@@Dethroned-king Yah right, the baby cubs didn' t beat him up like that!! Or maybe mommy gave him the day off to "heal himself" up!!

[@Dhuxul9]

Unfortunately lions live very violent lives 💔

[@fionnbarrcasey5247]

Not only is he a gentle papa, but he is a fierce protector. The scars on his face says it all. Defended those cubs on multiple occasions

[@falloutman565]

Awwww he's being gentle. I love seeing the father with the Cubs. They are so curious about him. It's like a small child seeing daddy & waking him up. Precious.

[@golden50snomad52]

It was a relief to see him so patient & loving with his cubs.🦁 Some aren't. And the awe/respect/fear they have of him is so cute. Those scars he has is from Mama, reminding him that she's counting heads when she returns from getting dinner.

[@tyrelldavis3528]

Right she’s like I know how many I left with you and they better all be here and in perfect health when I return

[@davidwhirl]

The dads head movement from right to left then right again and the more cautious cub following the movements then Dads wink at the end. It's fascinating, thank you for sharing 💯

[@honey25873]

Oh my goodness I hadn’t caught that ! That’s so adorable ❤

​@@jamesinsell3131me Please stop. Fear can also breed respect. When you respect someone out of love there has to be an element of reverence for that respect to last.

Tigers (as other felines) are solitary thought. They don't have a family concept. They don't care for their children or "wives". That is why lions are so fascinating.
