The viral video shows a little white lion cub accompanied by its mother moving in the forest seemingly at daytime. The cautious lioness patiently waits for her young ones before moving forward after pausing briefly to check on them. The viral video captures very cute moments between the lioness and its baby. Lions are synonymous with ferocity but this clip is sure to melt your heart.

“Here is a white lion cub for you…It is believed that only three white lions in the world are living freely in the wild. VC: In the clip,” Nanda wrote while sharing the clip on the microblogging site.

Of course, internet users adored the video. Heart and love-struck emojis abound in the comments section. "Wonderful to see! Hope they remain safe and happy. Please do not disclose the location if it’s in India!" a user wrote. Another user said, "Regards to you sir.... thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful video....a life time view."

Nanda previously shared a video of a black tiger cub roaming free in the wild, protected by its mother. A hidden camera appears to have captured the video at night. A small black tiger cub moves closer to the camera in the rare footage, while its mother follows. Initially, the two can be seen approaching the camera. However, moments later, they walk out of the frame. Take a look here:

I am sure you must not have seen the clip of a black tiger cub with its mother in wild.

Abundism is a variant of pigmentation, identifiable by enlarged stripes covering a large part of the body of the tiger making it appear melanistic.
Some refer to it as pseudomelanism also. pic.twitter.com/riWORXI50a
