Moving can be quite stressful. It turns out the same applies in the animal kingdom.
For reasons unknown, a lioness decided to move her litter of cubs. The adorable encounter took place at the Kruger National Park and the cubs look to be only a few weeks old.
As submitted by Steyn Jacobsohn on Latest Sightings, the cubs initially seem unsure of the assignment as they emerge onto the road.

In their indecision, they wait for their mother who seems to be having trouble getting their other siblings to co-operate.

With motherly patience, the lioness shepherds her timid offspring forward. In dealing with a reluctant cub, she gently picks it up using her mouth without causing any harm.
Eventually, she completes her mission of getting all her cubs to the other side and disappears into the bush with her family. Watch how it all unfolded, courtesy of Latest Sightings.
