Stunning pictures of a lioness saving her cub from falling to its death taken by
wildlife photographer Jean-Francois Largot at Kenya's Masai Mara game reserve in August 2011.
 |
| A cub slipped down a cliff, her mother tries to help the little one but the cliff is too steep. |
 |
| Other member of the pride also wants to help but think it's too steep. |
 |
| Just as the cub appears to lose his grip, the mother cub slowly circles beneath him and snatches him in her jaws. |
 |
| The lioness snatches the cub in her jaws and climbs back to the top. |
 |
| Finally they get to the top. |
 |
| Safe and sound, she gives the cub a loving lick on the head. |
