Surprising events/interspecific interactions

[Shadow]

This thread is for incidents and interactions where wild animals surprise people with different kind of co-operation/adoptions etc. No captive animals here or interactions between captive animals which have been raised together, only incidents from wild without people involved to development of situations.

I am not sure if this has been already posted here. Still this is a rare and very interesting incident because it looks like it, that this leopard cub died because of illness, not by other lions etc.
