Lions are certainly one-of-a-kind animals. The lion, often referred to as the king of the forest, is a top predator that you ought not to come into contact with if you are alone in the African wild.
Lions hunt and slaughter to survive and raise their pups, and they never dial down a food.
In this strange video, though, a lioness in the African Serengeti puts motherly instincts above food.
When this creature finds a lone wildebeest in the bush, she acts the reverse of what you’d anticipate.
Most people would believe this would be a simple kill for this one.
Instead of murdering and devouring the wildebeest, this lady’s maternal instincts take over.
The creature is more worried about the baby’s well-being than her own as she leads the baby back to her herd.
What’s more astonishing is that the baby, whose senses would warn her to avoid the lion, trusts her completely and following her as she walks her across the flat.
The baby, carefully keeping at her shoulder, seemed to understand that the one means to safeguard her. Every few paces, I’d pause and look around.
Seeing the connection between these two species is not only unusual, but also comforting.
The motherly instincts to protect the baby is powerful, and she survives.
