Leap of Faith
The dominant lion pride in Busanga Plains in Kafue National Park has to navigate the numerous water channels in the area. As much as cats dislike getting wet, the cubs need to keep up with the pride as the females lead them across these small rivers. The cubs reluctantly jump the water, trying to get all the way to the other bank.
