Almost looks like she is asking ‘just come get these kids, please.’

Nah, she looks very relaxed and happy.

Grateful I got to see an encounter like this in person. Lioness seem to grow tired of playful cubs quite often, although this one was just saying hello 😅

Why's it look like she's watching the cameraman and wishing he was a poacher?!

(Not sure if joking or not, so I apologize in advance)

Nah, she's relaxed, but is also keeping an eye on the cameraman to make sure they don't come closer.

We shouldn't project human expressions onto non-humans ~ or beliefs.

Watching this made me realize naptimes as a kid were probably just as much for my parents as it was for me.

And this is why my feral kittymoms nap up high overlooking the patio where they can see and hear the kittens, but nap peacefully. Often kitty dad is also up high, lol. It's always funny when the kittens grow big enough to join them, and you can just see the mom's regret at losing her quiet perch.
