Cub Gives His Father A Hug In Scene Reminiscent Of Lion King

An interesting capture of real life Mufasa and Simba cuddling each other in the Masai – Mara has wisely gone viral on the internet.

In the run-up to Father’s day, the adorable lion cub was witnessed bringing out his father’s softer side, as the pair later embraced in a heartfelt hug for a real-life Lion King moment.

A baby lion on the plains of Kenya has an adorable interaction with his father as the pair share a touching embrace that depicts a famous scene from the movie The Lion King 

Documented by Sabine Bernert, aged, 53 from Paris, the images showed a father gazing around his territory in the plains before his cub sneaked into the long grass, pretending to attack.

Recorded in Kenya, the heartwarming sequence was captured in the early hours of the morning when Sabine was trying to document wildlife for a children’s book.

Commenting, Sabine who captured the moment said”  ‘The lion pretended he hadn’t seen the cubs until the last second. Then they started to play joyfully’. The dad and the young cub playfully wrestled with each other on the Kenyan plains as the majestic lion gazed out across the plains of the Masai Mara.”

Sabine Bernert, who snapped the pair for a children’s book, said: ‘The lion pretended he hadn’t seen the cubs until the last second. Then they started to play joyfully’

She added: ‘I especially love the moment when the male lion is hugging the cub softly. The contrast between his brute strength and his gentleness, the huge size of his paw very softly holding the little cub’

“I was amazed by the way this huge lion was playing so gently with the cubs. They really looked like they were enjoying themselves and have fun. With the delicate light of the sunrise, it was a pure moment of grace.”
