A short video clip of a cheetah cub calling, videographed in the wild in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park.

This is the first time that I am uploading a video to Flickr, but I would love to share with you the roaring (calling) of a lioness.

She hurt one of her front paws a few days before, and was left alone with one of her male sub-adult cubs for a day or two by the rest of the pride. My interpretation of what she is saying here is:
"My pride, thank you for giving me time to recover from my hurt paw, but it is Ok now again and please come back to me so that I can join you again."

When we came back to this site later that afternoon, guess what, they all arrived back with her, and very late that afternoon she embarked on a journey with them! A good ending for a change!
