That was emotional. He really showed how grateful he was

[monicocarrera]

Them rubbing heads at the end was one of the most touching moments I've ever seen in my life . Animals really are amazing

[Poppie]

Wow this lion king remake was much better than I expected

[kalith]

Bro the way they hugged each other at the end truly warmed my heart. Many people really should know that animals also have feelings and bonds

[xxwalesxx]

The bromance at the end is the one best things you'll ever see in nature

[paigelovette]

The lions cuddling up at the end after the friend literally just saved his life made me almost tear up.

[MarkMark]

The way he was thanking the lion for saving him at the end almost made me cry. Such beautiful animals.

This shows just how powerful a full grown male lion is. Even a whole pack of hyenas wasn't able take him down before the other male arrived. There's a reason they're a symbol of strength.

[TheRealSolistar]

Everybody gangsta til the 2nd lion shows up.

[Ducati]

No matter how strong you are.... You LL always need a friend....

[aaronleperspicace]

"Even for twenty hyenas, a pair of male lions is too much to take on".

Just amazing.

[Jordan_Friesen]

The appreciation to the other male lion in the end was heart warming.

[Living]

Legit proof animals have feelings. The gratitude he displays at the end!

[Viccc]

The second lion has a majestic hero entrance...

[ninjasrose]

This might well be the single best moment ever captured on any nature programme. Lions are remarkable animals. And the brotherly bond at the end signifies that to the utmost!

[lebronthegoat]

This has the same energy as someone’s big bro beating up his younger siblings bullies

[rawdamohamed]

He didn’t even try to run. What a majestic creature 🦁 👑

[sammartin]

What an ending! The bond between those two Lions is absolutely amazing.

[MarianaTrench]

I know they're vicious killers themselves but when they rubbed heads in solidarity at the end, that was magic.
