Heart of a Lioness

Apparition

I couldn't sleep on Friday night so I decided
to check out the channels on TV.

I came across this show and it moved me to tears.
God does work in mysterious ways and this documentary
is living proof of the gifts we receive daily and most
chose to ignore them.

On this Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom special, an inversion of nature baffles the scientific world when a young lioness in Samburu Reserve, Kenya, sets aside her predatory instincts to adopt a baby oryx antelope. She mothers it with infinite tenderness for 16 days, foregoing her most basic needs and proving to be both a compassionate and wise protector.

Wildlife expert Saba Douglas-Hamilton sets out to explain this intriguing mystery. What complex motivation has stirred the heart of this lioness? The local Samburu people — who've named the lioness Kamunyak, which means "the blessed one" — have never witnessed anything like this before, and experts are also baffled by Kamunyak's motives.

When Saba encounters the pair, it is clear that they are in a bad way. The young lioness is unable to nurse the oryx calf, and it is weak and thin. Kamunyak refuses to leave her young charge, so she's not feeding herself and is woefully undernourished. In an effort to help the park warden throws her a chunk of meat but Kamunyak refuses to eat it. As the days go on she becomes less and less able to protect herself or the oryx from other lions. Will this precarious bond last, or will it end in tragedy?

After the many towns heard about this blessing, they gathered from tour buses
and tourist came to view the magical pair to see with their own eyes.
This has changed the way the tribes now view the lions they have been killing.

I am not sure if outside USA can view them however,
you can read and see photos of this documentary.
