Female lions or lionesses are known as caring mothers. In fact, they tend to share milk with other cubs in the pride. On the other hand, they are excellent hunters, even better than lions and usually do most of the hunt. Meanwhile, a peculiar incident caught the attention of a wildlife photographer, something that is viewed as opposed to the laws of the jungle. When a lioness was hunting and stumbled upon a fawn (young deer), the photographer was able to catch some puzzling moments. However, it seemed the lioness had some other plans for this prey.
Let’s follow this heart-stopping moment captured on film:

Lions are carnivores by nature, meaning they eat exclusively meat. When it comes to their prey, medium-sized animals such as deer are their preference. They suffocate or snap a deer’s neck by clamping their teeth around its throat, head, or neck. Escape is unlikely once these predators locked their jaws and sunk their claws in. What happens when these two come into contact, on the other hand, will most certainly take you by surprise.
