This is so fake. Im a jaguar and id have totally munched on that monkey.

[Jengybhoy]

Is the meat on a baby baboon called baveal?

[yohanbab]

babboon, i am your mother!!

[MrRiggyRiggs]

Amazing!

[DestroySweater]

this should be a pixar movie.

[yrassej]

@ gregtestangent: that's right lol!!!!

[sundinDT182]

Probably just waiting for the baby to get older... Makes a wonderful dinner when its nice and big ;D

[ManhattanProject45]

This is great, but it just leaves me wondering what happened long term.

[BOB10011001]

@ManhattanProject45 The babboon died over the night... google lepord baboon cub.

[Cassiefur]

@ManhattanProject45 at the end, the cold killed the baboon - it was only a day old so it couldnt keep itself warm.

[dillonpapa1994]

I think its just gonna raise it so it can eat it later? easy meal in my eyes 

[djhobby]

MMmmmmm. Baboon.....

[djhobby]

I think the leopard is just fattening up the baby baboon for the later kill.

[lateraldrop]

@captainflagella Or maybe the zombie noises are taken from the leopard's growl. That seems more logical.

[CaptainFlagella]

Anyone else notice how the leopards growls at the beginning are taken from the zombie noises in half life 2? xD

[kipepeo08]

so beautiful and full full of compassion!

[xphilly1818x]

Its called farming... With her own baboon she could raise it and mate it and have a readily available food source for whenever she needed.

[hoopychow]

@xphilly1818x lol as if the time and energy it would take, not to mention the increased risk it would pose to the cat to care for an infant would not be nearly as effecient as simply hunting the adults.

[billy9038]

awwwww the baby died over night :(

[BowlboKhabra92]

so if the leopard brought the babboon food, would the little guy eventually turn carniverous , or just starve to death?

[wickwack024]

Its saving it to make veil!

[truetool]

Have any of you considered that she might want fresh meat?

[TheBauman90]

@truetool really dude??

[FatticusStout]

Jeremy Irons! Yeah!

[Torches]

And then they feasted on the corpse of the baboon.

[chrisispoop]

@Torches lmao

[calder47]

"Mom, am I adopted? I don't look like you or the other cubs. You can tell me, it's okay - I can accept it and will love you no matter what."

"I ate your real mother."

[Bongladen]

@Macklo20

Perhaps she read a book as a pup about the smell differences and made a rational decision about keeping it as a food source later, because she knew that the food inflation rate in the steppes of Africa is going to accelerate.

Or it is instinct... 

[ettanps]

I think its the same for all species of females...they love babies or cubs..even if its not of their own...its natural for them...that could be the reason why we call the nature/Earth "Mother"

[roeliox]

she's was just farming

[idiosyncraticfrog]

did anyone notice the eerie sounds in the background from 0:41 to 3:30?

[masatomega]

So... humane? I don't have any words for it but this could easily make a 2h film.

[NicholasTernes]

Of course, the baby eventually died of starvation. Pleasant.

[Babuus]

@NicholasTernes i guess the point is that she tried?

[Mrsdepp2008]

mothers instincts are amazing.. truly amazing

[DZZeborro]

DAJUM NATURE YOU ADORABLE

[bloo668]

BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWW...

[fibrillatorD]

that leopard was just farming a monkey

[JexiesGhost]

@fibrillatorD Your mother was just farming you

[fibrillatorD]

did the leopard eat the baby's mom in front of it?

[ataraxy729]

Wow...some human beings don't even have that level of respect for life.

[winginater]

Nature you crazy

[nfnkalyan]

@winginater ha ha.

[mosienko1983]

i wish i had never seen this :(

[hggjack]

I demand a Disney movie based on this clip. Then they can write "based on a true story..."

[Zskillit]

Soooooooo, the cold killed the Baboon that night I take it by what it says at the end??? Well that's just lame. Even though the Baboon would've died either way due to the Leopards inability to feed it the proper diet, or give it milk..

[morr42]

its a pity that the baby most lickly didnt surive ,,,,,,,,,but keeping it company in its last hours is somthing that the tiger was probably doing and that is nice all the same ,,,

but there is nothing completly amazing abou this ,,iv always known animals are able to carry

most of the same traits humans can remember us humans are just animals as well

[hambotify]

@morr42 it's not compassion though it's just the leopard's wiring in the brain of a maternal nature taking over the predatory side. It thinks it's a cub so tries to help it survive because it's wired into the animal to make sure their species survives

[rollandemarie74]

even wild animals have a heart ,it brought tears to my eyes ,rolly

[BalliBT]

is that the voice of Jeremy Irons?

[gregtestagent]

oh there's gonna be some family drama later on down the line when her son confronts her about where he came from.

[othertopics]

Its things like this that make me wonder whether this stuff is all made up just to confuse the hell out of us.

[irishchrisc]

Did the Leopard eat the big Baboon or what?

[billykim100]

this is fucking amazing

[Sybspics]

Proof compassion is a choice and that even the most powerful beings can choose to be compassionate.

[FullyRespecter]

wow when even animals appreciate innocency of a child even though it can be their delicious food, unlike humans who frequently forget about human being and just think about their benefit, these ppl r more poor than animals

[rockyzico]

truely the best video ever
