29-year-old Cameron Schmidt, the System Head Ranger at Pumba Private Game Reserve, captured this cute and playful sighting on camera. Cameron shared the sighting with LatestSightings.com.
"It was a typical day at Pumba; we had found the resident lion pride when I noticed the big dad lion resting, with the rest of his pride nearby, and the cubs playing in the thicket." The playful cubs, full of curiosity, decided to explore their surroundings until eventually, their father's flicking tail caught their attention.
The dad lion's tail was swishing back and forth, not out of playfulness, but because of the flies buzzing around the kill they had just made. However, to the mischievous cubs, this moving tail seemed like the perfect plaything. They kept sneaking up on it, pouncing, and pulling, totally focused on its movement.
The dad lion, trying to rest, grew a bit grumpy with this game, he was losing out on some precious sleep. He let out a few growls, hoping to teach his little ones a lesson and chase them off. But the cubs, much like naughty kids, weren't easily discouraged. They would take a few steps back reassess, and come right back and start all over again!
Finally, after a few more attempts at tail-catching the cubs got brave enough to grab it with their teeth, that’s when the dad had enough! He jumped up in frustration and that was when the little cubs decided that it was best if they stopped. They ran off, like little rascals that have been caught red-handed. You could even hear their playful chatter, responding to their dad's shouting, as they moved on to find new games to play.
"We're one of the few reserves in the Eastern Cape, similar to Sanbona in the Western Cape, to have free-roaming white lions." Contrary to some beliefs, these white lions are not albinos but have a genetic condition known as leucism, giving them a distinctive appearance with eye colors ranging from green to blue.
"These lions, including the white ones, are thriving here. They're experienced hunters, having taken down prey as large as giraffes. Despite their bright white color, they seem to still find a way to stalk and hunt their prey in the green eastern Cape landscape."

Same logo? Is this sister channel or what??
Done
along with all the gruesome-violent-murder wildlife sightings, lol...
@@douglasbacon4759 nature is not like what Disney movies portray wake up sunshine
Indeed. Sad they will grow up to be extremely dangerous to everyone.
No matter the size, a cat is a cat. No matter the species, a dad is a dad.
Except when you're a spider or a praying mantis since you never actually get to be a dad. You're basically *dead* after copulation 💀
lol
💯
Except in some animal species, dad actually kills the children and that's why mom raises and protects them alone.
Of course. That's nature.
- Your son is awake. - Before sunrise he's YOUR son.
You’re right it’s like young Simba waking his dad Mufasa from The Lion King! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@kellywong9902 So Simba and Kimba are apparently brothers in this universe.
@@slipstreamxr3763good catch XD
@@slipstreamxr3763 😃 love that!
daaaaaad dad dad dad dad dad dad daaaad
Being too playful trying not to bother dad napping is such a universal element of kid dom
**insert negligent father joke here**
*infancy
@@sionbarzad5371that's not the word.
@@sionbarzad5371you acted like this before you could sit upright? damn
The way they ran away soon as he got up 😂😂😂
I would run away from that anger growl warning too! Lol The kids know they made Dad mad. 🤣
Kkkkkkkkk they know daddy doesn't want it, nature shows more love than humans
😂😂
To the 3rd cub who you know dared them to do it!
They were so focused that they did not notice a grumpy lion at the other end of the tail 😂
Cats just can't help themselves! Lol Big or small, if there is a moving tail they have to get it!
Pretty rare to see a white lion on the wild. I hope the little guy survives.
I just searched, and it turns out that's the key feature of that reserve. They proudly present white lion population as their main attraction
I know. Someone needs to make a cartoon about them and then a large corporation would rip it off
But it wont
@@lennarthagen3638okay and now shut up.
@@parlor3115 that's been disproven actually lion king never ripped off kimba. watch the yms video on it
Dad at the end was like “I said knock it off!”
you can tell they just instinctively can't resist
It's Kimba AND Simba together for the first time in a crossover you'd never expect!
I absolutely admire the cute and cuddly cubs being very playful.
They're ugly
Lions cubs are the most curious soul
Let’s hope curiosity doesn’t kill the cat.
Any child is a curious soul
Cause they know they have insane plot armour
Nala= Simba are your sure this is a good idea to play with your dad’s tail? Simba= Relax Nala, My Dad wouldn’t mind
Mufasa= (wakes up) 😡BOI! I TOLD YOU TO KNOCK IT OFF! Nala/Simba= (casually walking away) huh what? 👀
Simba and Nala bothering Mufasa!😂
It’s so funny bc he knows it’s them
When he woke up he was like, "I TOLD Y'ALL LEAVE MY TAIL ALONE!" 😂😂
Lion Father: I'm not angry, I'm just giving a little lesson in manners...
My hearts bursting with how adorable those little cubs are. What little sweethearts ❤❤❤
After this game they go to eat other animals’ kids alive.
Well that’s because you’re gay
@@evgenysemenov6051What little sweethearts!
They're ugly
Until they chewin on you
The cubs are absolutely cute and adorable!🤗
Absolutely adorable and the white color of that lion cub is so special
Never see one before myself
Racist 😭
White lions are very rare, and it's even more rare that one makes it to adulthood. There is only 1 adult white lion in the world and his name is Casper. Many lion cubs perish, and white lion cubs even more so because they lack camouflage. I am hoping this one will make it!
@@Iconoclast1919 there are 4 or even more wild white lions including casper. Search about Birmingham pride white lions, that pride produced many white lions. That pride is in ngala game reserve, kruger national park and their territory is just few kilometers away from casper.
There is more than one, stop spreading bs
That lion may look like he's playing but really he's just really trying to nap, and those cubs were getting on his nerves 😂. Pretty cool sighting!!
Lion be like “babe “tell the kids that I am tired I will play later with them 😂😂😂😂😂
Golden and White cubs they all are so cute....love them so much.❤😃
A true testament to all parents of every spices...dang kids just won't let me try to have a power nap to save my life 😂
Its all so new to them, they just want to share with the parents 24/7 😊
These cubs are just so cute and adorable 🥰 This is what family life is about - kids playing, dads trying to sleep 🤩 It was funny the way they did a runner when dad got up 😂 Love you guys ❤
simba : dad wake up dad DAD DAD DAD DAD sarabi : your son is awake
Until sunset, they’re YOUR sons.
That little lion kittens was so cute!
2 cubs "cruisin' for a bruisin' " 🙄🤣 Pop was pretty tolerant though!
This is a quality channel for rare and beautiful wildlife interactions
The cubs look so adorable and cute ❤. Especially when they play on their daddy’s tail!
They're ugly
Lol i mean can u really blame the little kitties like papa literally has a natural cat-toy on his tail😂 one of the most adorable videos i've seen in a while❤
Simba and Nala playing with Mufasa’s tail
Curiosity and fear at the same time 😍
Absolutely! That is the cub with Dad/Uncle energy!
The way the cubs tried to walk it off with an oh so casual "nope. Wasn't us." 🤣 Just like kids.
They're so adorable🥰
Such cute and playful babies ❤️❤️❤️
Is that a wild white lion cub? Extremely rare.
totally agreed
@@SilverBullet22250I hope he and his family are well protected from pachers
Brave little babies- adorable
Silly kitties 😊
Gorgeous looking male lion.
I like the end where they all casually saunter off. They know not to push that one any further so they'll see what other mischief they can get up to round the next corner.
Os filhotes de leão são muito lindos
Wow a white lion cub!!!
When you hungover AF but the wife told you to play with the kids
What a child ❤
Even lion snoring is impressive.
The lion's growl is cool.
Omg they look exactly like Simba and Nala!
Kids are kids, very naughty and funny. Dad awake and ran away 😅
Shows that animals can be like humans in many ways then one
The thumbnail looks like Simba & Nala bothering Mufasa.
Nap time is sacred 😅
Simba?! Nala!!
This is animals in general, even humans. Parenting is hard lol
When dad finally gets up, the cubs go "I didn't do it."
Gonna get you, daddy!!❤❤
THEY ARE SO ADORABLE 🥰
Il est tellement mignon le petit Blanc
Literally Simba and Nala 😍😍
Better than the Lion King live action 🥰
Dad lion tails look like they were made to look specifically like that to be the cubs' toy lol 😂
Been here before. "Go away I'm sleeping!" "But Daaaaaadddd!!!!!" "Sigh..."
Simba and Nala are at it again!
Simba : Dad , I just cant wait to be king Mufasa : Forgive me for not leaping for joy , bad back you know.
The two cubs in the back are like "Bro.. are you crazy messing with father like that?"
I love they way they think his tail is a toy.
so adorable and beautiful!
That sounds means "WTF DO YOU WANT MF!" in Ebonics
if those cubs were Pokémon, that white cub is a shiny one! hahaha
Aww, they are sooo cute and fluffy
Lions never seem to work out that lashing their tail around makes it even more attractive as a toy.
Notice how the one who was bugging dad the most, when pop turned to see who it was, he/she is looking the other way like saying it wasn't me.
Great video. Lol Lol. Love the King. Cubs so playful. ❤❤
怎麼能這麼可愛啦😂
Even big cats wag their tail when annoyed 😂
So cute and sweeties 😊
The tail thrashing about, adheres to the Lions annoyance. "Why? Why did I have these _cubs?"_
Such cute kitties
This is adorable 😊
Dad is saying shoo get away as he sleeps with his tail 😂
Just as it is a child’s nature to test boundaries, it is a parent’s inherent responsibility to set boundaries…
lion cubs so cute.
First few seconds..... "Guys, I think it's a bad idea." Decides to play anyways. Last few seconds.... "I told you it's a bad idea."
"Will you kids knock it off!? I am TRYING to sleep!" "Oh no, Dad's mad! Run!" "It wasn't me, Dad, I swear!" Humans, lions, doesn't matter. Kids'll be kids!
Cubs: "Moooom, we're so bored! What can we do?" Lioness: "I think your dad has been sleeping for more than twenty hours. Go wake him up. Gently, I mean." Cubs: "Yes, mom!"
they're in their maximum fluffiest stage as cubs
They remind me of Simba and Nala
Love how the people recording this got such a kick out of it.
lol Simba n Nala messing wit Mufasa😂
Cutest things EVER 😍😍🩷🩷🩷😭😭
Kids being kids😊
That’s a brave baby
Adorable ❤
Well he will keep waving it around!
Aaaw so cute ❤
That "Kimba" cub is so cute.
Dad's tail = best toy ever
the white cub though Kimba is that you? lol 😂
Dad was trying to swat away those annoying little pests with his tail. LOL
At that age everything is a plaything to cubbies....
