In this touching video, a lion accidentally nudges its cub into a body of water and, only realizing it afterward, quickly becomes concerned.

The cub, caught off guard by the fall, splashes into the water, and the lion immediately reacts with worry.

In a moment of parental instinct, the lion rushes over to rescue its cub, gently pulling it out of the water.

The video beautifully captures the protective nature of the lion, showcasing both the playful innocence of the interaction and the deep bond between parent and child in the animal kingdom.
