Description
So finally - mom just carried little Jonty back to the safety of the family...
This is the final in the series of three images about this feisty little cub that I called Jonty. This image, (although not perfect because of his feet not completely in the frame)is my favourite by far! I love the gentleness of this lioness as she carries this tiny little cub in her dangerous jaw without so much as a scratch!!
And I think to myself - how often do we as humans just need a nudge or someone to pick us up and carry us to safety!!
O well, I'm rambling! I'll give you all a break from the lions for a day or two... then I'll upload the other 258 lion images I snapped on Sunday... LOL... Just kidding!
Thanks for the click and for your valued comments and favs on this series!
Stay well!
Hugs, Carin xx

Mom has him in a "sleeper hold"...an old professional wrestling hold from the 1950s. Have loved this series of three!
It is a special moment and I can see why it is your fav! Those eyes! Cheers, Clive
So cute! Mom taking care of her kitty....
wonderful picture!
Quale dolce delicatezza !
What a pain in the neck. Pun intended. Wonderful image. :)
Oh, I can see why this is your favourite, Carin! Such tenderness, and Jonty looks so relaxed!
SUPERB!!!!!!!!
Beautiful portrait!
super !
awww fantastic shot
I've enjoyed all your Jonty images. They are an entertaining series.
I LOVE THIS IT'S SO CUTE GREAT SHOT
amazing shot
Oh so cute!
Awe these are so cute, and if you did have 258 photos of the lions I would so be there. I am a big feline lover! As with the last I loved this one too. Great shot Carin, you have a great eye.
Wonderful capture and series Carin.
really cute!
Very beautiful image! The love and tenderness is very apparent!
There you go, total submission he can no longer resist, he is captured hook line and sinker and ready to be taken wherever his mother wants to take him. Wish we had the same sort of skills in the human world Ha ha! Thank you Carin for your latest 3 wonderful African wildlife shots, they were fabulous and brought a much needed smile to my face dear friend. hugs Jane xx
Awwww MOM!!!.................Beautiful scene, moms usually win out, and it's so hard to get away with anything while they're around! I never could figure out that eyes on the back of their heads thing. This was a great trio of scenes, and so very well captured! Thanks so much for sharing them with us!
Great sequence of shots Carin!
258 more lion images to come?! I don't think I have that many lion jokes to go along with that! In any case, this is another magnificent capture of the gorgeous regal lioness as she carries her issue gently back to her family lair, Carin! Splendid miniseries, young lady!
Oh Dierbaar, this is wonderful! Only three ... I will miss Jonty! Of course you know I will sit still for every single one of the remaining 258 lion pics! :D
Stunning capture..this was my favorite as well. Once, a mother lion observed one of her cubs chasing a hunter in circles around a tree. The mother lion exclaimed, 'How many times do I have to tell you not to play with your dinner?' See a little lion humor too...lol 143 xoxox
Wonderful capture and moment! Thanks for sharing these:)
A fantastic series all wonderfull photos thankyou for sharing
awww.....my cats do that...so cool to see it in the real world!!
I can see why this is your favorite and Jonty looks like he is asleep in those mighty jaws. Instant fav. Dana
this is a wonderful shot! her eyes are beautiful.
