Mlima the female cheetah started to show her three cubs over the weekend for the first time. Rangers have been monitoring them daily but yesterday one lioness from Egyptian goosepride tried to attack them repeatedly. Mlima was brave enough to fight off the lioness the whole day, at one point she almost slapped the lioness’ face trying to protect the cubs. However we are sad to announce that lioness got to one of the cubs in the late evening hours. Mlima and her remaining two cubs have not been seen today. We hope they are not killed and just moved away.

De Visser got word of two lions feeding on a kill and went to take photos of the scene when he discovered the heartwarming moment. After feeding on the carcass of the Uganda Kob, the lionessretreated to the shade of

a nearby tree to rest. Moments later, the antelope‘s offspring popped out from its hiding spot in the tall grass.

The two animals took some time to warm up to each other — De Visser estimates about 45 minutes — but the lioness eventually let down her guard and befriended the calf. When a park ranger appeared on a motorbike the lioness picked up the impala like she would her own and carried it away. Other tourists to the park reported seeing the baby Kob unharmed later, after the photos were taken, according to The Daily Mail.

It’s not often in the wild that an antelope turns from prey to a member of the pride, but that’s exactly what happened recently at Queen Elizabeth National Park in Uganda.
