Although this is a decision that is not easy, but standing before the survival of the whole herd, it is forced to leave. The moment Charmaine turned her head to look at her son for the last time, it caused a lot of excitement for many viewers.

David Attenborough, a naturalist and host, shared: " In the end, the mother lion couldn't do anything to save her child. She would never see her son Sienna again."

Meanwhile, Sophie Darlington, a member of the film crew, and a cameraman about the lion for two years, shared that she was in great pain to witness the poisoning threat to her. all the lions.
