Lion adapts an antelope calf after killing its mom In queen Elizabeth.
See picture of a lion adopting a helpless antelope calf.
In Queen Elizabeth National park, a lion killed an antelope leaving an antelope calf as orphan. A team that was on Uganda Safari in Queen Elizabeth NP was on the scene and saw everything that was going. Some lioness was up on the tree watching.
After the lion had eaten the antelope, a calf come in front of the lion with an attitude, you have eaten my mummy where I am going? You either eat me too.
The lion tried roar in Oder to scare it away but the calf was not scare at all. Eventually the Lion felt pity and carried the calf away with it like as if it was its on baby. It first ran into its legs wanting to suck. This took around 45 minutes, and when the ranger came in with his loud motorcycle, the lion carried the calf to a safe place.
From the report that we have as per now, is that calf is well and alive living with Lions.
