I can't believe how wonderful of a big brother Jasraj is, I was honestly impressed and surprised! I didn't know young male lions would be affectionate to their little siblings like that.

This is WHY lions are SO EXCEPTIONAL and INTELLIGENT. These interactions are HIGHLY complex and shows how much the BOND between the family members are PRIORITIZED. Very wonderful video.

[@lauralutz4538]

Big Brother, you’re kind, sweet & beautiful. No one should be unkind to you, your Mom must be tired. You’re the best big brother a cub could have!

[@zarzartinwin593]

Jasraj is such a great big Brother who cares a lot about his younger siblings. He worries about them, he cares about them and he is so gentle with them. He must be such a great dad by now. But his mama still bite his hand and that’s not fair! 😅

[@anhtranhai2657]

i think she worried about her new cubs because a lot of big lion like dad or brother bite the little cubs-their sons,daughters or brothers and sisters

[@zarzartinwin593]

Anh Trần Hải I think his face shows of his personality. I just wonder how will it be like if he can talk? Big brother with big heart.😍😍😍😍

[@ulaatak8074]

I really love Jasraj’s personality.interaction between him and his little Brother is priceless.He is sooo adorable and has a tremendous big heart. Awesome!! 👏 😍😍😍👍👍👍

[@umaghargi4765]

Such a handsome lion. Too good to his brothers & sisters. Nice family.

[@rachelschwebach7566]

What a good big brother! He has more patience than most lioness's with cubs have. In the wild, this sub-adult male would be run off by his father to start his life as a nomatic male until he is fully grown and ready to take over a pride of his own.

[@nicenice...]

[@irefi64]

Lovely, sweet-natured big brother lion. Funny how he kept the rough and tumble playfighting for little brother and was more gentle with the little sisters.

[@liz-gf8uw]

I'm Jasraj's big fan.

[@KatherineUribe-1]

What's astounding is that usually males this age get ejected from the pride so they can go out and form prides of their own. Interesting to see the dynamics of the pride, the devotion of the older male siblings for the younger cubs! Beautiful!💝🦁💝

[@norweldeguzman9186]

Katherine Uribe bec they are in captive

[@phyllisruthmick5391]

No Sir with respect you're wrong. Jasraj is not the only devoted older brother African Lion that Iv'e seen and not just in captivity but in the wild and in a Sanctuary with very large enclosures as well. A pride is a large family group, all of the Lions are related. All of the members of the pride are devoted to the cubs regardless of who mothered the cubs and regardless of the degree of relation to the cubs, older brother & older sister, older male & female cousins, aunts, ECT. Now this particular young male Lion older brother, Jasraj, is in a class by himself!!!! Jasraj is especially sweet natured and loving!!! I cannot help myself, I have fallen head over heels in love with Jasraj!!!! LOL

[@phyllisruthmick5391]

You know the dominant male ejects the younger males when they're 3 years old or so, after they're well on their way to maturity, because the father sees his son or sons as a threat to his position, his dominance. I think its quite tragic because the younger males, his sons, would be excellent allegiants, to help protect the pride. Instead they're forced out and have no choice but to become travelling rogue Lions that are a threat to their own pride and other prides. Because of the shortage of land that Lions can call their own, human & Lion troubles, poaching, "trophy" hunting, ECT many young male Lions must band together for a better chance at survival and its near to impossible for them to go out and form their own prides the way that they could've & would've done 20, 30,40,50, ECT years ago. Its a travesty really and we must step up to help and protect Lions, all people, from every continent, right now & for always so that we can protect this magnificent species of large wild cats.

[@Argos-xb8ek]

Also in some cases male lions will allow their Male offspring to stay until a couple more of their siblings/cousins are of age for them to all leave at one time

[@Argos-xb8ek]

@@johnrajeshg4415 I wouldn't say thats exactly true have you ever heard of the mahpoho lion coalition? It was a lion coalition of 6 siblings that controlled a vast territory. These male lions were allowed to stay in their birth pride so they'd be all of age to set out and take start their own pride together

[@celinafernandez8210]

Amazing such an affectionate and protective relationship among these predators. Nature is perfect.

A better 'babysitter' than most Lionesses I've seen! More 'tolerant' then Dad! And he went and ACTIVELY tried to keep that cub from hurting herself or going too far, WOW! Why do they chase them away? I know all are not like him but he could give some Human men pointers on character...

[@walterfink9782]

As a lover of all cats, this family is one enjoyable group to watch. Brothers to each other have bonds that stay for life. Same for sisters. Since males leave the pride, once they get to a certain age, I would think, that as a group, before they leave, they get along with their sisters. I like lions, but my true love for the big cats, are the Tigers. Bengal to be exact. But, in the end of the day, my love for all cats is first and foremost. But, I do like all animals.

[@DaTaJaSi]

✨As a Leo woman I am so in love with this video. I swear I could feel the affection between these siblings. Beautiful video🥰🥰

[@O-oo3uu]

Idiot

[@savannahritter2145]

2 things 1) I love how affectionate the big brother is to the little Cubs bc I just saw a video before this one where three teenaged lion brothers were jealous of the younger Cubs and one of those Cubs strayed away from the pride and the three brothers tried to gang up on him and almost killed him (but the mom heard the Cubs cries and saved him...then pawed at the brothers) And 2) I laughed so hard when it said "my moms in a bad mood...but my sister is always nice to me" like i felt that
