On Nat Geo. I have seen an African lioness adopt Orix fawns not once but five times. Unfortunately everytime her effort was brought to an end by adult male lions whenever they (orix) moved out of the foster mother's protection.
On Animal Planet I have seen two wolves (one white and one black) attack a mother caribou with a new born fawn. After the mother fled the black wolf picked up the fawn and then placed him back on the ground leaving him unharmed.
On a news channel I have seen a hippo attack a croc and save a small antelope .
Animals in the wild can come up with surprises.
After saying this, I must also quote a story told to me by a senior Forest Officer posted in Kanha. This story is exactly opposite of what we see in this video.
This gentleman was driving back to the rest house around dusk when he heard the alarm calls of langur and cheetal. He immediately stopped his jeep and looked in the same direction. Soon enough he saw a herd of Cheetal on top of a ridge ,flapping their ears and looking downwards. Down below was a female cheetal standing bravely between her young fawn and a leopard. If the leopard moved a few steps left ....the doe would move left (hiding the fawn behind her) with her head pointing downwards as if she were ready for a charge. The same happended when the leopard moved the other way. This continued for almost half an hour. The forest officer watched quitely and wondered why the leopard was not taking the doe? He was powerful enough to bring her down in one go. Yet he was focussed . Focussed on the fawn. Finally he got the better of the mother and killed the fawn . The mother took one last look to confirm the fawn was dead and ran up the ridge to join the rest of the herd.
In this case the only reason why (I think) the leopard was after the fawn ......was perhaps because he wanted to kill only what he could eat.

Yup touching video... too bad us 'intelligent' animals are too busy trying to kill one another because our ideas dont agree.
