Affection Or Nutrition?
It is reasonable to presume that the lioness had given birth in the past and that its maternal instincts had surfaced. Despite the fact that a newborn deer would be a vulnerable target for a powerful predator like this one, the lioness opted to take care of it.

Affection Or Nutrition
Motherly Love
Animals, like us, are born with a maternal instinct. It’s as if we have a chip in our heads that tells us to look out for and protect the weakest among us. For lionesses within the same pride, it is not uncommon to share their cubs with one another and care for them together. Additionally, there have been several instances of documented lionesses caring about cubs of a different species. Lionesses have been observed nursing leopard babies and even pups in wildlife reserves. Is this motherly affection or looking for nutrition?
