00:02 Baboons live together in troops,
00:09 and together they form a strong and organized community.
00:12 These omnivorous animals will eat
00:15 just about anything that is edible.
00:18 However, their territory is also cohabited
00:21 by a breed of ferocious hunters like leopards.
00:28 This female was about to quench her thirst
00:30 at the shores of a river to resist the heat
00:32 and stay hydrated when she got surrounded
00:35 by the land keepers of these areas.
00:36 She knew that she had no chance
00:45 against the countless baboons,
00:47 so she chose to flee and avoid humiliation.
00:51 The furious animals kept chasing her down,
00:58 making the leopardess lose her temper
01:00 and snap at one of them.
01:01 She had to punish them for taking her caution for weakness.
01:09 She carried her prey using her jaws
01:24 and hid her on the branch of a tree
01:26 away from the plunderer's reach.
01:28 (footsteps thudding)
01:31 (leopard growling)
01:36 She was surprised to find out
01:39 that her catch had a newborn baby.
01:41 A little infant managed to leave his dead mother's womb
01:47 and took his first breaths in this world.
01:50 A hyena approached that tree.
01:55 His ears caught the screams of the newborn,
01:57 and decided to raid the leopardess.
01:59 The feline bared her sharp canines
02:06 in the face of the trespasser.
02:08 He better back off before he gets a taste of her wrath.
02:11 This aggressive defense was enough to send the hyena away.
02:18 The leopardess's eyes remained pinned on the baby for hours.
02:23 (baby crying)
02:25 Strangely, the infant started reaching out to her
02:33 wherever she moved and imprinting on his surrogate mother.
02:36 She drowned in a growing confusion
02:45 at the crossroads of being the predator or the mother.
02:50 Her maternal instincts finally prevailed.
02:52 And in this compassionate scene,
02:59 she started licking the infant's body using her tongue.
03:03 Finally, both settled down to sleep.
03:15 Exhausted by the event,
