shame for tamu

[Mocchaa]

Why on earth is it so hard to believe that a lion, or any animal, feels actual emotions or love. I have seen lions react to humans who have raised them by displaying wild joy,love, & affection when they are reunited with the human. Is that also instinct?? No it is genuine love plain & simple Is it really such a leap to assume they can't feel love 4 their own cub! It is the ultimate in human arrogance to say only we are capable of emotions! Especially when you see them display these emotions

[Mocchaa]

Why would you hesitate to use the words "caring and affection" she has cared for them, hunted for them since day one and would both kill and be killed for the sake of her cubs you idiot!

@Mocchaa Very true.



[positivencouragement]

Too moving for words. There are just no words to do Tamu justice.

@kaiba2006 ..its okay,thank you for posting it

I also don't understand why 'caring' is so difficult of a word to use.

There's more to these creatures than you think.

Obviously she did 'care' about her cubs, she was aware that her cub was dead, what she was doing is how lions typically mourn lost loved ones, licking/grooming them.

This episode is one of the most touching ones.

I feel sad when I think about what Tamu had to undergo since the beginning.

But happy to hear that she successfully raised two of her male cubs to adulthood. What brave mother she's been! Kudos to her!

Hello ! are you sure Tamu joined the main pride ? Because Simon said in an episode of Big Cat Live that Tamu was helped to aised the remaining cubs, alone, butwith a little of protection of Notch when he left the pride to the new males. And he said that no one saw Tamu since long time. Nobody knows where she is.

If you search for user bigcatweek they have all the episodes and the most recent series of big cat live.

If you go to simon king wildlife . com and to the forums and search for tamu you will find information there. She lost one of the cubs after filming but raised two to adulthood. She joined the main pride for a while in 07 but left when the new males took over. Apparently she is doing well the last i heard.
