Something Unusual
Overall, the lioness stayed away from the baby, carrying on with her hunt. A strange meeting ensued, and the baby deer wondered if the lion’s good nature might last for the long term. Why did the lioness take the calf along with it?
The Right Moment Perhaps
This lioness might have had experience with cubs in the past, kicking in her maternal instincts. The baby was surely happy because other predators couldn’t take advantage of it. Remember, the photographer is witnessing this happen in real-time and is speechless!
