Her name is Legadema (lah-heh-deem-uh)—Setswana for "light from the sky"—and she has illuminated documentary filmmakers Beverly and Dereck Joubert's understanding of how a leopard learns and survives in the wild. Since discovering her at eight days old—and for three years following—they tracked her movements in Botswana's Okavango Delta. Watch her in these scenes from the Joubert's film Eye of the Leopard.

Legadima- Lightning! Jouberts are one of the world greatest wildlife filmmakers. If you liked this video, man, i recommend you watch one of Jouberts' earlier works titled- Eternal Enemies. You will know what I mean. These guys are great!
i read on the national geographic website and it only said that the baboon didn't make it through the night. then it goes on saying how Legadima found a new mate etc but that's about it for the baby baboon.
Just do a key word search. Paste in your browser. Here is a similar story- "The lioness first made headlines in early January, when, to the surprise of Kenya's wildlife experts, she adopted her first oryx calf. For 17 days, she starved while the baby antelope made regular visits to its lactating mother.
At one point, the lioness scared off a family of cheetahs that tried to kill the calf. But inevitably, the oryx was eventually killed by another passing lion."
I saw an episode detailing those events. The lioness adopted several baby oryx. The lioness was bannished from her pride or the other members of her pride were killed. She was socially desparate. The baby oryx featured survived 10 days before another lion came along and killed him. At one point the baby oryx was reunited w/his herd but was reclaimed by the lioness. The problem is the lioness could not provide milk for the baby.
