It is always hard to see an animal lose their life, but it keeps nature in balance and the lions perform a necessary role in the ecosystem. Thanks to gude Kyran for providing the footage. #lion #warthog #balance #nature #wildlife #safari #southafrica #kariegagamereserve | Kariega Game Reserve | Facebook

At the beginning of the video, you can see her "pouncing" on the ball which is a simialr motion she will use when hunting mice under snow or ground cover. She is still a bit uncoordinated, but at only about 7 weeks old, she has a lot more growing and practicing to do before she'll be out on her own, fending for herself. | Howling Mountain Wildlife Rescue | Facebook
