Unusual Motherly Affection! 'TRULY UNIQUE'. The assumption of the wildlife experts that the lions are supposed to kill leopards on sight proved inaccurate after a wild lioness was seen very recently nursing a leopard cub! The leopard cub was caught on camera suckling on a lioness in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Tanzania. The pictures were taken on July, 11, 2017 and these startling pictures are now considered as first evidence of such inter-species bonding between predators that are normally mortal enemies. The lioness is radio- collared and called as “ Nosikitok” by the local people. She has since returned to her pride and to her cubs of same age like the leopard cub some distance from where she was nursing the leopard cub. However, I can't tell what has happened to the leopard cub. It is assumed that the mother leopard retrieved the cub from what was a temporary lioness day care. I believe like many others that the kind lioness has not killed the leopard cub. Wildlife experts say this inter-species suckling has never been seen before. Readers may join me now to see some of the photographs posted here under: Source: Reuters        |

It is always nice to read from you here on my blog page, Softwinds! This time it is after a considerable long time. Hope, everything went well for you during the time you were unable to stop by my blog pages. To tell you frankly, it is imperative for me to tell you that the pictures were not taken by me. The source, as mentioned, is Reuters. The photos were taken on Tuesday (July 11. 2017) by a guest at the lodge Joop Van Der Linde. So the photo credits rest with this guest. Regards and best wishes.
