So why didn't Honey's kids kill Shakira's little cubs?

[bigcatweek]

@PharoahsKingdom The Cheetah arn't known for cub killing, one of the Honey's boys may have fathered these cubs who knows and thats maybe why they never did anything to them, probably regognised them as their own and moved on, for all we know before the Big Cat team arrived this harrassment with Shakira may have happened before already.

It's clear cheetahs recognized their own kind's babies; what's more, despite their rough play, they're less violent. The 3 big brothers here were themselves, only 2-3 years previously, in the same helpless shoes as these 3 tiny cubs. Once they knew no matter what they did, mating won't happen, since she's the mother of 3 tiny babies, they took off, leaving the shaken family unharmed. 3 lion males would almost certainly instantly kill all 3 cubs they come across not fathered by them.

@9493760 they're called cubs not pups

00:31 i can hear cheetahs calling

[bluepeas510]

The trio of Cheetahs were Honey's sons and when the 3 brothers started to approach the 3 cubs, Im sure they had flashbacks of themselves when they were little ..tagging along w/ their mom And Im sure when the cubs were scared they remembered when they had the same frightning experiences ..thats why I think they didnt kill the Shikira's 3 babys. Only 'ONE OF HONEY'S SONS" acted aggressive towards the cubs ..his brothers were thru w/ it soon as they realized it was cheetah cubs

AMAZING FOOTAGE . THE MALE QUESTIONING OF SHAKERA AND HER PUPS WAS TENSE , BUT THE RESULTS WERE HEARTWARMING , THE CHEETAH BANDING UP LIKE THAT IS RARE . PERHAPS THE REASON THE PUPS WEREN'T KILLED . THE BLACKMAN I ASSUME TO BE A LOCAL , HE IS DOING AN EXCELLENT JOB OF OBSERVATION , AND THE FIRST TO DETECT CHANGES IN THE FAUNA .KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
