In December last year, a similar video was doing rounds on social media where a lioness could be seen saving her cubs from crocodile-infested water. According to reports, the video was captured by photographer Luca Bracali at the River Ewaso Ny'iro in Kenya. The video showed the lioness crossing the river with her three young cubs when one of them apparently loses its footing. The lioness then quickly jumps in to rescue the cub before the cub is swept away by the flowing river.
