狮子爸爸蹲下来第一次见到他的幼崽

If there’s one way to win over the internet, sharing an adorable animal video is definitely in the top 3. Be it a cutesy puppy who’s just learning its first steps in the world or a floofy kitten doing something funny, moving images of little critters have a beloved and well-earned place on the worldwide web. And this video shared by the Denver Zoo certainly fits the criteria.

如果有一种方法可以赢得互联网的青睐，那么分享一个可爱的动物视频绝对是前三名。无论是一只刚学会走路的可爱小狗，还是一只正在做一些有趣事情的小猫，这些小动物的感人图片在全球网络上都有一个受人喜爱和应得的位置。丹佛动物园分享的这段视频当然符合标准。

The video shared on September 6, 2019, showcases a lion cub playing around in its enclosure. Although the spotlight is obviously on the tiny lion baby, the moment shared between him and his lion daddy is the star of the footage. The two generations met for the first time and the big lion Tobias’ actions towards his small bean of a son as he crouched down to interact won over the internet immediately. Many praised this 2-year-old father for his gentle behavior.

2019年9月6日分享的视频显示，一只小狮子在围栏里玩耍。虽然大家的注意力都集中在小狮子宝宝身上，但他和他的狮子爸爸分享的那一刻才是视频的主角。这是两代人第一次见面，大狮子托拜厄斯蹲下来和他的小豆子儿子互动，这一举动立刻在网上走红。许多人称赞这位两岁的父亲举止文雅。

Recently, Denver Zoo shared an adorable video showcasing a lion dad meeting his cub for the first time

最近，丹佛动物园分享了一个可爱的视频，展示了一位狮子爸爸第一次见到他的幼崽

The video comes from a series of “cubdates” that the Denver Zoo posts every other day to give people a glimpse at their newest lion cub who is yet to be named. In fact, the zoo is trying to involve the public to raise funds for lions in the zoo as well as in the wild by letting them pick a name. The final choices are the following: Meru, which is the name of a mountain in Tanzania, Moremi, which stands for the name of a game reserve in Botswana, and Tatu, which is the Swahili word for the number three (as the cub is Neliah’s third offspring). You can vote too by clicking here.

这段视频来自丹佛动物园每隔一天发布的一系列“cubdate”，目的是让人们看一眼他们最新出生的尚未取名的小狮子。事实上，动物园正试图让公众参与进来，让他们为动物园和野外的狮子们选择一个名字，从而为它们筹集资金。最后的选择如下:Meru是坦桑尼亚一座山的名字，Moremi是博茨瓦纳一个野生动物保护区的名字，Tatu是斯瓦希里语中数字3的意思(因为这只幼崽是Neliah的第三个孩子)。你也可以点击这里投票。

The video also shows the baby cub playing with an older female lion which isn’t actually his mother, but his half-sister, the 4-year-old Kamara. “She is just the most attentive and affectionate older sister,” Denver Zoo’s Instagram account reported.

视频还显示，这只幼崽和一只年长的母狮玩耍，这只母狮实际上不是它的母亲，而是它同父异母的妹妹，4岁的卡玛拉。丹佛动物园的Instagram账号写道:“她是最细心、最深情的姐姐。”

Denver Zoo runs many initiatives to operate conservation programs at the Zoo, in their community, region, and in four other countries around the world. They not only encourage people to donate to help their efforts, but also have educational programs as well as accept volunteer work. One of their initiatives is called “Adopt an Animal” which allows you to “adopt” one of the 4,300 animals at the Denver Zoo, with the possibility of bringing home a plush version of that animal! Pretty sweet!

丹佛动物园在动物园、社区、地区以及世界其他四个国家开展了许多保护项目。他们不仅鼓励人们捐款来帮助他们的努力，而且有教育项目以及接受志愿者工作。他们的计划之一是“领养一只动物”，允许你“领养”丹佛动物园4300只动物中的一只，并有可能把这种动物的毛绒版本带回家!很甜!
