This pair of playful lion cubs are desperate for their tired mum to join in with their games.
In a delightful series of photographs, the youngsters can be seen leaping in the air with each other before jumping onto their mum’s head and even playfully biting her nose.
Photographer Usha Harish captured the adorable scene as it unfolded in the Masai Mara National Reserve in Nairobi, Kenya.
She said: ‘It was a cloudy morning and the lion pride named Enkoynyi were out of the wet bushes in the open as it had rained all night. The cubs were all active and it was a beautiful moment to just keep observing the little cubs frolicking around the mother. It was a heart-warming experience.
‘I loved that the pictures show the emotional bond between the mother and cubs. I felt like its universal to note the motherly love is always unconditional and kids are always mischievous and playful be it animals or human.’
