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.
