Mother's love

Uploaded: July 26, 2006

Description

We were recently at Etosha game reserve in Namibia and were fortunate enough to see a lioness moving her cubs. She walked across the road right in front of our vehicle carrying the one and then returned for the other. It was a very magical moment.
