“The lioness looked after him like one of her own,” nursing him and sharing meat that she hunted,” claimed Stotra Chakrabarti, a researcher who researches animal behavior.

Not just that, the poor little leopard got a calming welcome from his siblings. They loved their new sibling and considered him a part of their family.

The lioness mom and her kids were sorry for the poor leopard cub. They tried to provide him the best treatment until he, unfortunately, passed away because of a hernia he had since birth.

Although the unlucky poor baby leopard can’t live a longer life with his adoptive lion family, he gets all the love and cares in his last days. And this story wins the Web. Animals are sometimes extra human than us, people.
