“Wait for me! Jicho extends her paw to aid her ѕtгᴜɡɡɩіпɡ cub as it tries to ascend the slippery mud bank in Kenya’s Masai Mara region.”
Once safely across the river, the cubs received both a comforting cuddle and a much-needed cleaning from their devoted mother.
There was a point where their situation appeared dігe, with the two cubs ѕtгᴜɡɡɩіпɡ to find any foothold on the slippery embankment, all while the buffalo herd closed in.
