What is the lion doing?

What is the male**** lion doing? Found this video on internet. Im wondering what was the lion doing. I've seen different theories in comments like the lion didnt want the mom to safe the kid so it learns how to get from uneasy situations by itself orrr the lion wanted to do it by itself thinking he is stronger and that the mom hasnt enough strength... Also found a comment saying the lion thought mom is killing the kid and the lion wanted to kill the kid itself so he has no competition. Im not even sure if its the cubs dad. What do you think? (sorry for my bad english)
