A lioness in Uganda has adopted a baby oryx, game wardens at the Queen Elizabeth National Park have reported.
The lioness is said to allow a female oryx several minutes each day to feed the new-born calf.
The oryx would normally represent a tasty meal to a lion, but this is not the first time the lioness has placed a calf under her protection. The lioness is said to be fiercely protective of the oryx and becoming very aggressive when any human come near.
