A lioness will defend her cubs savagely when threatened. = Uma leoa defenderá a seus filhotes selvagemente quando são ameaçados.

I find that \"selvagem\" is closer to \"savage\" and \"feroz\" is closer to \"ferocious\". Of course, if you still prefer to use \"feroz\", it would make perfect sense and mean practically the same thing. I just thought I\'d offer the option.

I\'m sorry, I\'ve forgotten to change the following:

\"...os seus filhotes...\" (it should be that instead of \"...a seus filhotes...\")

luck
