About month ago there was a similar documentary on Animal Planet about a friendship between helpless young antelope and old hungry lion. The old lion was following a newly born antelope for more than a week to protect it while it finds its herd. Lion wasn’t eating nothing for a days but newer tried to eat that helpless creature.
This amazing story will show you how even animals have a compassion and even they are not just instinctive killers as we believed they are.
Here you can see a similar case from Masai Mara, Kenya where a few of guepards found young impala that was obviously lost its herd. As you can see, they didn’t eat it they rather tried to help it to find its relatives.
Images source and great forum for Animal Lovers .
I’m SO glad the last picture didn’t say “LUNCH”!
Those are cheetahs, not “guepards”
Is it not impossible to fathom that the guepards were simply allowing the impala to lead them back to the pack, thereby increasing the available food amount from a simply baby impala to a whole herd of them?
I’m tellin’ ya, them guepards is smart. In the words of the venerable fish face, “It’s a trap!”
Awesome. I have coyote that lets birds land on it’s back living in my yard.
this article is full of fail:
“Lion wasn’t eating nothing”
“they are not just instinctive killers as we believed they are”
” As you can see, they didn’t eat it they rather tried to help it to find its relatives.”
and animals do not feel compassion, they eat when hungry and don’t when not hungry. These animals happen to not see the tiny impala as a good meal.
They are just waiting for it to grow, nice and plump
I assume this is translated from french hence the use of the french for cheetah “guepard” and the other language mistakes.
I hate to say it but … how it ended wasn’t shown.
The last photograph did say lunch.
I saw it this morning in the newspaper.
The impala ran away and the lions went after it and ate it up.
I’m sure there’re some photographs online.
Sorry.
“animals do not feel compassion”
Really. Humans are animals, you know. Have you honestly never had a dog or a cat? Animal owners will tell you that their pets are very capable of emotion and do show compassion.
Whether or not these particular predators are using the baby impala, or showing genuine compassion, is an open question. But it’s well known that animals do show emotion, so we can’t rule it out.
There are many scientific articles about this subject available on the web. Emotional behavior in non-humans might also be broached in biology textbooks, since it’s an old subject.
And then, the refrigerator was invented.
Predators only eat when they are hungry. Animals are also known for playing with their future meal before they eat it. They were keeping it around until they were ready. Either that or watch it spoil after the kill.
bambi what have you done?
Those pictures really looked Shopped. You better double check.
It looks like it was made by photoshop. This pictures doesn’t look real at all!

These animals happen to not see the…. is not correct, you should have said : ” these animals happen NOT TO SEE the…” ok ????
why everyone here is just trying to say : it’s photoshop…,it’s playing with meal before eating it…wh don’t u just believe in strange things happened in the universe ?? it’s the power of GOD , why don’t u just believe in it selfish ones????????????
Maybe they are allowing it to get bigger.
“it’s the power of GOD”
That just made me crack up. I dare you to walk into a lion’s den at lunchtime and pray
last pic is shopped
“…yes, precious… lead me back to your herd…. MUAHHAHHAHHAHHA!!!!” (Oh: And what the hell is a “guepard” anyway? A gay leopard?)

okay, so great story, except, spell check and use correct grammar, double negatives just make you sound ridiculous.
This is b******. They might’ve toyed with the thing for a little while but I guarantee his ass was lunchmeat at some point that day. when they finally got hungry it was over.
They’re like us, people, when we find a little fish and get him back into the water, and try catch something big to eat.
