A Lion Sized Squee!

This week’s exciting squee story is an orphan baby antelope being adopted by a lioness in Uganda’s Queen Elizabeth National Park.

Here Annie has adopted a Lion to illustrate this story.

The less squee worthy part of this story was that the lioness was the reason that the kob was an orphan in the first place.  Nonetheless the pictures, snapped by Ari De Visser are just too cute for words!

International news organisations have leapt on this story, and the one we found to have the most cute pics on show was the New York Daily News – so when you’ve finished reading this and “liked” us on Facebook (seriously, why haven’t you yet?) you can check those out, should you so desire.

Now, in our in depth investigation into this revealed that this is not the first time a lioness has adopted a baby antelope, and we have embedded a YouTube video we found below for your viewing pleasure.  Enjoy.
