I just watched a documentary on The Animal Planet about a lioness names Kamunyak who adopted an oryx calf which she tried to nurture for at most 16days…

The Blessed Lioness among African Lions
A 2-3 year old lioness ‘Kamunyak’ had adopted a Fledgling young Oryx calf. The news was treated with a lot of skepticism since an Oryx is a type of antelope upon which lions usually prey. Experts were at a loss to explain the big cat’s affection towards the calves. The lioness, nicknamed Kamunyak, or The Blessed One, by locals, had protected her adopted young from danger and had allowed them to nurse from their biological mothers.

Kamunyak have amazed us… and it seems nature wanted this to happen to tell human that the survival of fittest goes with love and care.
