Lioness to the Rescue
A lioness rescued a cub from a moat at a zoo in Miami.

MIAMI, FL -- Check out a rescue mission at a zoo in Miami!

A cub falls into a moat and all the lions gather at the edge, one of them climbing down to save the young cat. The lioness grabs the cub by the scruff of his neck, and pulls him back up. All the others then licked and groomed the cub after his ordeal.

Notice that the king of the jungle, the male lion, just watched on as the lioness did all the work.
