IT HAPPENED AGAIN: Kenyan lioness adopts another baby antelope. Her last one, you may recall, got eaten by another lion. But her antelope-love is no fluke:
When the lioness adopted her first calf last month, animal behaviourists said she had probably mistaken it for a lion cub. But on Friday she showed full awareness of the calf's species, allowing its real mother to feed it before chasing her away.
The bad news is if she keeps protecting the little thing it'll starve. I guess she's not consistently letting it feed from its real mother. Via the evpsych list.
