Wildlife is considered to be brutal, but what happened between this baby baboon and a lioness is going to surprise you. A hungry hunting lioness caught a baboon with a baby clinging to its side. It seemed like an ordinary day in the savannah, but then something incredible happened…
The frightened baby baboon abandoned ship and left his mother’s side, attempting to climb a nearby tree.
Wildlife photographer Evan Schiller and his wife Lisa Holzwarth thought they were about to photograph a moment of death….
Instead, the lioness did something amazing: Not only did she not eat the baby baboon, she gently pawed at it and picked it up.
“The baby was showing signs of physical harm and fatigue from the whole ordeal,” Evan told National Geographic.
“The lioness picked the baby up in her mouth, it was in agony over the baby’s ordeal, and I kept turning off the video on my camera because it was hard to record.”
