The lioness was so struck by the courage of the wounded fox that she protected him from her pride!

It is not in vain that lions are considered kings of animals. With their grandeur and grace on the African continent, few can compare. In addition, these are strong, dangerous predators, and any encounter with them most often threatens with major troubles.

However, the scene, which was witnessed involuntarily by the employees of the national park in Botswana, allows you to look at these animals from a completely unexpected angle. It all started with the fact that people saw a pride of lions, slowly moving along the road, and a small sand fox lying directly on the way they follow. The baby’s hind foot was damaged and he couldn’t run away, so the park staff already thought that it would be easy prey for the approaching animals, and mentally said goodbye to him. However, what happened next shocked them to the core.

When the lions approached the fox, he began to growl violently, bravely showing that he was not afraid of the giants surrounding him.


Then one of the lionesses could not resist the courage and charm of the baby and stood up for his defense.

The enraged lioness was determined, so even the leader of the pride got it!


The lioness penetrated the fox so tender feelings that she defended him as if it were her own baby.


Seeing such a formidable rebuff from the mother of the lioness, the other lions decided not to get involved and leave the victim alone.

The wounded animal was no longer perceived as prey and everyone settled down next to him for a halt.



From afar, it might even seem that the fox cub is also a member of the lion pride.


Over time, the fox realized that formidable predators would not do anything to him and quietly waddled away on its three legs until they changed their minds. Let's hope that the little daredevil got better and everything is fine with him.
