  • maybe shes never been a mother before and the antelope looks like a cub to her ?

  • The internet fucked up her thinking.

  • @J109uk Except the antelope didn't have access to milk... and would be starving to death.

  • i think its because she might have a mating problem

  • I've seen this before on television also. On the show they said the reason the lion adopted the antelope was because she was excluded/ostracized from her pride. I'm not sure really, but I think this story is so fascinating.

  • This is a shortened brief version of an actual show that featured this on Animal Planet. I recall when the antelope was killed the Lioness cried like it would if it had lost a cub. They said she cared for these antelope cause she had a traumatic experience with her own cubs death.

  • She just wanted a pet

  • Mother Lioness of Calcutta.

  • antelope:mom what are you cooking lion:young man don t be picky
