The incident that happened at Kruger National Park in South Africa not long ago left many people shocked because of the tragic outcome of the baby monkey and the images that haunted the minds of viewers.
Everyone knows that lions are the kings of the jungle, they eat weaker animals to maintain life and that is something that seems very obvious as is the law of the wild world. However, there are still moments that make people unable to help but be bothered.
The last painful moment in the baboon’s life
Recently, photographer and businessman Stew Nolan (41 years old) caught a cruel moment when an unfortunate baby monkey was pounced by a lion and became its delicious meal. The photo shows a lion clutching the baby monkey’s body. It opens its mouth and screams as if begging for mercy, but the outcome is still truly tragic.
According to Daily Mail, this 136kg female lion is a veteran hunter in Kruger National Park, South Africa. Before delivering the killer blow to the baby baboon, it seemed to have captured an adult monkey.

Although they have a reputation as the most cruel people in the wild world, sometimes lions are also extremely honest as if to prove to the whole world that deep down inside every living being is honesty.
A typical example is the story of a lion taking care of a baby monkey after killing its mother in 2014.
Photographer Evan Schiller witnessed the entire incident and captured impressive photos of that moment.
The lioness grabbed a female monkey holding her baby. Once it has killed and grabbed its prey, the little monkey sneaks away from its mother and runs away
Instinctively, the baby monkey ran towards a tree with the intention of climbing it, but because he was too small, he could not do it. At this time, the lioness also saw the little monkey
But a strange thing happened, instead of rushing to attack, the lion approached the baby monkey and gently looked at it.
The female lion gently raised her hand to “make peace” with the baby monkey
The lion gently carried the baboon to an open area and placed it in his lap
The little monkey’s initial panic disappeared and gave way to intimacy

In a moment of inattention, a male lion appeared with the intention of “stealing” the baby monkey to eat, but the female lion immediately “spread her fangs” to protect the little baby monkey.
