A female baboon tried to make a run for it but unfortunately
wasn't lucky. A lioness grabbed it immediately in her jaws.
 |
|
Little did she know, a baby baboon, less than 1 month old,
soon emerged from next to the mother's body.
|
Immediately, the scared baby baboon quickly tried to make an
escape but it was too weak to climb far. The lioness was surprised and went
over to find out what was happening.
She was both curious and gentle.
The baby was showing signs of physical harm and fatigue from
the whole ordeal. The lioness picked the baby up in her mouth-it was in agony
watching the baby's ordeal-and I kept on turning off the video option on my
camera because it was hard to record."
Surprisingly, the baby baboon responded. It soon began to
hold on to the lioness' chest and even attempted to suckle.
Suddenly, two male lions arrived to the scene. The lioness
immediately showed signs of aggression towards them. Was she defending the new
baby she found?
All the while, the father baboon was watching everything
from away and waiting for the right time to come for the save. As he descended
from the tree, he would test the interest and responses of the lions each time
to not draw sudden attention to himself.
He finally made the move and snatched the baby up at the
first moment he could! Father baboon saves the day!
