Beverly Joubert Instagram – Playing with fire. Lionesses often become unwitting participants in the rough-and-tumble games that occupy much of their cubs’ time. As these two youngsters wrestled and jostled, one of the cubs sunk his teeth into Mom’s tail. Like all mothers, lionesses are relatively tolerant and will put up with a fair amount of playful squabbling, but even the most patient moms lose their cool eventually. Discipline will be dished out in snarls and swats.⁣ ⁣ #lion #lioncubs #bigcats #bigcatsofinstagram
