Viral Video: Rescued Lion Cubs Cuddle With Woman in Bed; The Internet says: “What a feeling…”

A video of four lion cubs cuddling a woman on her bed is going viral on social media. A video shared by Freya Aspinall on her Instagram account shows her cuddling four lion cubs in her bed. Aspinall, in particular, is an animal rescuer.

In her post, she shared the boys' rescue story and revealed that they were rescued from euthanasia and are hand-raised before being sent to Africa.

She wrote in her post: “How I sleep at night (no pets)… A few months ago we rescued four lion cubs who were just hours away from being euthanized. They were born in captivity to someone who exploits animals for profit, and someone reached out to us and asked if we could help. Within a few hours we were able to intervene and save her immediately.”

She added: “Then I started hand-rearing, which included sleeping with them and caring for them like a mother. Our plan is to send them to Africa where they truly belong, just as we have done with other lions we have previously rescued and hand-raised. Hand-rearing is always a last resort, but in this case it was the only way to save her life.”

The viral video sparked a wave of heartwarming reactions, with many expressing admiration and jealousy. Viewers were touched by the sight, with one user saying he had never been more jealous of anyone in his life.

One user wrote: “I've never been so jealous of someone in my entire life.”

“The definition of heaven,” another added.

Another added: “Melts my heart”

“This is so cute,” one user wrote.

“You are an absolute angel to these beautiful creatures and quite brave.”

“They are so precious and loving.”

“This is the healthiest video ever. Thank you for saving these babies and for the wonderful work you are doing.”

“Tell me you’re the happiest girl in the world without telling me.”

“God bless you for your commitment”

“I'm so jealous. I’m so glad you saved her.”

“My dream, just a little moment with several puppies.”

“They will be your friends forever.”

“If heaven exists, I’m pretty sure this is it.”

“What kind of feeling must that be?”
