Upon closer look, it appears as though the deer has only been born for a few days and its flight instinct hasn’t kicked in yet. Sadly, the unlucky creature was most likely separated from its mother by another predator while it went out in quest of prey. We are fortunate that this lioness has chosen to be merciful. Otherwise, it would have suffered the same fate as the others. When the lioness spreads its mouth wide, the fawn starts to bleat in response to the lioness’ actions.

We see the fawn slowly accepting its fate. Are we about to see nature take its course? Despite the sad ordeal, the photographer could only keep taking shots.
