She made sure it was her family before she let them see her. That was cute and very necessary.

[@georgemasson6125]

Yes, because lion eyesight isn't very good.

[@johnames6430]

Why? She can be taken into the pride unlike a male.

[@rgggtv1451]

John Ames she can’t just switch pride however she pleases she could be attacked

[@autumngrace3915]

John Ames She could, but she could also be mauled and killed. She also might not have wanted to switch prides. How our dogs love us, and they could easily just run to a new owner- they would want their original owner first.

[@FutureAbe]

She was so careful when she wanted to make sure it was her pride, aw

[@Allexstrasza]

@Joey Mantka Well its true when talking about male lions.. but female lions are generally accepted into other prides.. there's a chance she might be rejected but yeah. Another male lion and instantly chased off as a warning or killed

[@meiliangnenh5431]

Maru incorrect information both male and female lions will attack other prides no matter if they are male or female. Females have been known to kill other pride cubs if they get separated from their pride. Adult lioness aren’t accepted into a new pride as a pride is made up of mothers, aunts, sister and daughters so a non related female will be attacked or killed.

[@styx5131]

@@Allexstrasza any lion male, or female can be accepted into another pride, or male coalition but it's very rare. Lioness's can be just as savage as the males when it comes to outsiders.

it amazes and bewilders me how so many people believe that animals have no souls or emotions..

[@alasskaluna2446]

+Linda T Yes. People who believe that just show that they themselves have no soul or emotions. Only a soulless, heartless person would believe such nonsense about other sentient beings. It's patently obvious that animals feel the same basic emotions we do :)

[@juanpedro19840914]

+Linda T Emotions, undoubtedly yes. Souls, no; and neither do we.

[@juanpedro19840914]

terefe feyssa If there is in no evidence for supporting something like the existence of a soul, it can not be asserted as true. Regarding to feelings and emotions, that is different.

[@juanpedro19840914]

terefe feyssa There's no need to prove the "non existence" of something like the soul. It's like saying that there's no evidence for the non existence of fairies, leprechauns, or unicorns; therefore, they may be real. Of course they don't exist! We all know that. Trying to prove the non existence of that would not make any sense. Provided the absence of evidence, the criterion, by default, is that none of them exists, unless someone finds consistent evidence. The same for the soul.

Lions, tigers, and other exotic animals are on the edge of extinction, mainly because of human. We must be responsible for that.

Sheryl Schroeder this is absolutely beautiful. Why can't humans be this way. A female line is most precious animal we have on Earth they love one another unconditionally they even love other animals to protect them as well you've seen that on several documentaries. Now this line was gone for 3 days and they finally found her and welcome to her. They know there Pride mate when they see her. This is a beautiful reunion too bad humans can't be like that so evil and nasty take lessons from lions.

[@paigehc6659]

[@fuccwit9098]

Dragon Legend It’s when a hunter kills animals (often rare, “prized” ones, such as lions and other game) for fun. They don’t hunt for their meat or other resources their body would provide; they do it for a mount.

[@MagicalBevanna]

The bond between pride members is so very strong. However, they have the same problem we have. There is no difference in their sandy coats and shapes, it could have been a neighbouring pride, in which case, she would have met hell marching towards her, with its sleeves rolled up!! That's why she very wisely waited till their scents reached each other. After 3 days of calling, the thought of landing in a world of pain, she didn't need. I held my breath, even though the title told me she reunited with her pride, after watching several lionesses ripped to pieces by her neighbours, it's a stressful few moments , till recognition happens. It's lovely, lionesses spend their whole lives together. Made me smile. Thanks 😀😊

It’s amazing how they can track each other in such a vast wilderness area.

And I’m guessing the lost lioness’ was one of the key experienced teachers, members of their pride. It’s amazing what they can pick up from scent and sound.
