The Same Scene from The Lion King: Photographer Captures Baboon Carrying Lion Cub
An unusual sight.
In a national park in South Africa, photographer and safari guide Kurt Schultz took photos and video of a baboon climbing a tree while holding a tiny lion cub in its paws. Kurt Schultz published the photo on his Facebook.
Schultz's photos resemble the famous scene from the Disney cartoon The Lion King, where the baboon Rafiki lifts Simba at his birth.
Schultz noted that baboons often kill lion cubs. In an interview with Associated Press he said that in his 20 years of work he had never seen such gentle treatment of lion cubs by baboons.

safari guideI see no chance that this poor cub will survive. The baboon troop was large, and an adult lion is unlikely to be able to get the cub back. Nature is cruel in most cases, and it is not easy for a predator's cub to survive. The lion cub will pose a threat to the baboons when it grows older. I have witnessed baboons viciously killing leopard cubs, and I have heard baboons killing lion cubs.
