Mom's Calling: I Have Your Back

On a warm sunny African afternoon in Ngorongoro Crater, most of the animals have had their morning meal and are ready for a nice rest in the shade.

Being the kings and queens of all the animals, the lions have no problem lying right out in the open for a big sleep without a concern in the world.

But that doesn’t stop the inquisitive lion cubs from sitting up at the first noise to make sure they have each other's back.
