The Camp Selinda, somewhere in Northern Botswana, while snapping pictures of a big troop of baboon nearby bush, the couples witnessed a very unusual scene of the Lioness grabbed female baboon attached with a cub on the run.

In the jaws of the lioness the mother baboon lay dying, a little baby less than a month old slowly detached from its mother’s body.  It would seem that the baby is unredeemed, but the lioness cared for him and even defended it against a hungry lion.

Suddenly the father baboon’s prowess paid off. Once he gallantly saved his baby, he made his way over to a shade tree and the rest of his troop. The baby was safely nestled in his father’s arms, resting. That was a father’s incredible bravery and rescue mission.
