Lion cubs leap across swollen river in Kenya
Footage captures the moment a trio of lion cubs leap across a swollen river in Kenya.
Betsey Lucas, who was with wildlife guide and conservationist Paul Goldstein, witnessed the incredible moment after spotting the lions lined up by the water earlier this month.
Mr Goldstein noted that the Ntiakntiak river is normally a trickle, but became faster-flowing after “biblical storms” in the area.
The cubs jumped across the water to reach their mother, who had already crossed.
“If they had tried this [the previous evening] they would have been swept away,” Goldstein said.
