Mom knocks lion cub into the water

On Feb. 13, 2011, at the National Zoo in Washington, DC, I watched as a female adult lion began to groom a cub and knocked the cub into the water. Cute! The little guy wasn’t hurt but you can see that he wasn’t too happy about it! This video was recorded with a Nikon Coolpix S8100 digital camera.
