A true story Mufasa and Simba have been photographed cuddling in the Masai Mara ahead of Father’s Day.
The cute lion cub pulled out his father’s softer side, as the two shared a heartwarming hug for an actual Lion King moment.
Sabine Bernert, 53, of Paris, was photographing wildlife in Kenya when she came across the touching scenario.
The photographs show a father looking around his plains domain before his cubs sneak into the long grass and pretend to attack him.
Sabine took a moment in the early morning while photographing wildlife for a children’s book.
