Father’s Day is coming and we just can’t wait to share this heartwarming story with you! First aired in 1994, the “Lion King” is undoubtedly one of the most successful Disney works and has always been on the lists of the greatest father and son movies of all times. The masterpiece has won the love of millions of fans all over the world and now after over two decades, we finally get a chance to admire Mufasa and Simba’s touching relationship in real life.

This amazing lion duo has gone viral after being spotted sharing an affectionate hug at Masai Mara National Reserve, Kenya. The beautiful moment was caught on camera by French photographer Sabine Bernert and immediately captured the hearts of not only Disney fans, but also animal lovers around the world.

According to the 53-year-old photographer, he was visiting this East African country to document the wildlife there and take several photos for a children’s book. Of course, what he accidentally witnessed was far beyond what he was expecting.

Bernert woke up really early that day and quickly came across the father lion who was sitting alone on the savanna. His cub showed up not long afterward, pretending to sneak attack the adult lion, but his action did not go unnoticed at all.

To Bernert’s surprise, as soon as the real-life Mufasa caught a glimpse of his Simba, the very first thing that sweet dad did was holding him in his arms lovingly. Thankfully, the Paris-based photographer was there to share that astonishing moment with the whole world.

“The lion pretended he hadn’t seen the cubs until the last second. Then they started to play joyfully,” Bernert recalled. “I especially love the moment when the male lion is hugging the cub softly. The contrast between his brute strength and his gentleness, the huge size of his paw very softly holding the little cub.”

“I was amazed by the way this huge lion was playing so gently with the cubs,” he continued. “They really looked like they were enjoying themselves and have fun. With the delicate light of the sunrise, it was a pure moment of grace.”

No matter how much we have learned about nature, this wonderful planet never ceases to amaze us with its incredible abundance and stunning beauty. There are plenty of charming creatures on Earth that could capture our hearts at very first sight, and these adorable little guys right here are an outstanding example. Meet the aardwolf, the cutest “wolf” you probably never heard of.

The name aardwolf means “earth-wolf” in Afrikaans and Dutch. They are mostly found in the shrublands of East and Southern Africa.

Image source: Animals-Safaris

Each adult aardwolf is about 22 to 31 in (55 to 80 cm) long (including its tail), 16 to 20 in (40 to 50 cm) tall, and often weighs 15–22 lb (7 – 10 kg).

All aardwolves are nocturnal and a bit shy, they often sleep in underground burrows during the day and only come out to search for food when the night falls. And the funny thing is, they don’t even try to dig these holes themselves. These quick-witted critters usually use abandoned burrows that other animals leave behind. Pretty smart, right?

These wild animals come from the Hyaenidae – the same family as the hyena and they mainly feed on termites, that’s why people also call them the “termite-eating hyena”. They are impressive great at hunting insects. In fact, a single aardwolf could catch up to 300,000 termites in only one night by using its super long and sticky tongue.

In addition to being cute, they are pretty loyal as well. Aardwolves are monogamous, which means they often stick with the same partner for their entire life.

Thankfully, this species’ population is quite stable at this moment. It has been rated as “least concern” by the IUCN.

When the breeding season begins, female birds use soft plant fibers, green moss, animal air, and feather-down to build their cup-shaped nest. This nest is placed in bushes, shrubs, or small trees. They then lay 1 egg in their nest and incubate them. The female continues to feed the hatchlings for about 20 days until fully fledged.

In our eyes, they’re rescues,”Armand says. “They’ve got a forever home. I’ve had to defend the fact that we own lions every day, but if I could, I would own all the captive lions in the world.”

Meet the Glistening Green Tanager, a bird you would expect to blend in with nature because of its green color—but it is practically fluorescent.

You would think that this bird would be pretty hard to spot in the wild, given its green color. But is so green that it almost glows when you see it!

Even though they don’t have a beautiful combination of multiple colors, it’s green plumage is bright enough to make it distinguishable amongst the green treetops.

This is a raw photo of them, unedited, and have not been enhanced in any way.

And yes, they are really that green. They look like those fluorescent highlighters we use to have in school!

There may be some color correction set in photos that are shared online, but this one is a good enough proof of what it looks like in real life.

Sometimes spotting them in nature can be a little bit tricky, so when this happens, they can always be identified by their wheezy and lispy calls and vocalizations. Some groups, such as those in Ecuador, exhibit more complicated song arrangements that have a series of ticking notes rapidly produced, and ends in a jumbled high-pitch group of notes.

They feed on fruits, however, they prefer small insects and larvae.

Most tanagers feed on fruits, but this one visits the fruiting trees a little less than others because they like to consume insects more. They can be hard to keep an eye on since they are almost always searching for prey.

It hangs upside down like a bat, and gleans insects from the foliage undersides. They may also come to feeding stations that are stocked with fruits.

Glistening Green Tanagers are tagged under the Least Concern category, and hopefully, won’t be depleting in numbers any time soon. They are just one of the many wonders that nature has to offer!
