This lioness was devastated when she lost track of her family, but it wasn’t long before her loved ones sent out a search party! A clip shared by The Dodo on Facebook shows the mournful feline sitting all by herself, crying out for her pride. According to the video’s commentary, she’d been lost for several days. However, eventually a group of other lions can be seen in the distance, looking for their missing family member.
The footage of the ensuing reunion is absolutely adorable! When the lioness catches sight of her loved ones, she hurries over to them excitedly. The rest of the pride envelops her with affectionate nudges before the group proceeds to lie in the grass together and start grooming each other. We’re not crying, you are!
