00:00 Baboons live in groups that gather males and females of all ages.

00:14 This troop of baboons has taken up residence here in one of the largest jungle in east-south

00:21 of Africa.

00:24 Vigilance is always required.

00:28 The monkeys cohabit on the island with a cunning hunter.

00:35 The leopard is the sworn enemy of baboons.

00:41 The alert sounds of the monkeys confuse the leopard and she has no choice but to escape.

00:54 But she still roams their areas of influence and the danger is still there.

01:07 This female leopard takes advantage of the isolation of one of them to show off her courage

01:13 and influence.

01:19 After catching its prey, no one could dare approach this predator.

01:29 Something moved in the dead baboon's fur.

01:34 A day-old newborn.

01:40 The leopard has not yet noticed that a young baboon clinging to its mother.

01:46 She is being curious and she didn't know how to react with the prey's baby.

01:54 Hyenas would normally send her scurrying for the trees but this time she gently lifted

02:00 the baby to safety first.

02:04 Only then did she return to confront the hyena.

02:10 It was an aggressive defense, protecting the baby not defending her kill.

02:20 The leopard's eyes never left the baby for hours.

02:26 And strangely, this newborn started following her everywhere, reaching out to her, most

02:33 likely imprinting on his new surrogate mother.

02:45 This leopard is at a confusing crossroads between being a predator or taking care of

02:52 this little one.

03:01 Perhaps something more maternal and compassionate started to grow within her at that moment.

03:14 Finally both settled down to sleep, exhausted by the event.
