Lionesses and their cubs typically do not cross rivers in the same way that some other animals, like wildebeests or zebras, do during migrations. Lions are not natural swimmers, and they tend to avoid water when possible. However, in some cases, they may need to cross rivers or streams while hunting or moving through their territory.
When lionesses and cubs encounter a river or a stream, they will generally try to find the shallowest and safest crossing point. Lionesses are quite strong and can carry their cubs in their mouths if necessary. Cubs are often hesitant to enter the water, as they are not natural swimmers and can be vulnerable to crocodile attacks or other dangers. The lionesses will typically guide and protect the cubs during the crossing.
It’s important to note that lions in Kenya and other parts of Africa face various challenges, including habitat loss and human-wildlife conflict. Conservation efforts are ongoing to protect these magnificent animals and their habitats.
