In spite of grasses around, a very-very effective image, full of emotions!

A very tender moment you caught. Do hope these 2 survive. Hope you can keep us posted. Thanks for sharing.

This is an adorably tender moment. I do hope they survive. Despite knowing the odds are low for many cubs (whether cheetah, lion, or grizzly bears), it's still tough when they don't survive. Great image.
