At first, it looked like a lioness carrying her cub. However, at second glance, it turned out to be a young male carrying a newborn antelope.

The young lion carried the antelope down into the dry riverbed where we lost visual, but could still hear the antelope bleating.
The lion went into the riverbed also because there were white-backed vultures, hooded vultures and marabou storks in the vicinity hoping to take off with the buck. I think this was pure opportunism on the part of the lion as he must have stumbled upon the newborn whilst walking through the bush.
I am not sure what happened to its mom but she may have been grazing and wandered a bit too far off from her youngster.

While the sighting was being played out, adrenaline was flowing! But watching the video, I could hear the little buck bleating, which wasn't nice at all.
My wife was almost in tears and given a chance she would have rescued the poor thing.
We visit the Kruger often but this was a rare sighting for both of us.

Lion is like "I'm gonna save this for dessert."

Lion-“run”
Baby-“it’s the same I will die”
Lion-“yeah but it’s funny”

Plot twist:
The lion is training the lamb how to be a lion.

I'm no expert but it looks like the lion is using the baby as bait

[ahmadsalihinafifbinbaharom]

the lion just like : ''wake up honey, show me where is your mother, i want to talk for a while''

Lamb: Hello world
*1 minute later
Lamb: Goodbye world

Obviously this is a hostage. The Lion demands a bigger Lamb in return of the baby.

Oh god,
Teach them the difference between "saving" and "saving for later"

The lion is extremely confused, whether to play with the baby or kill it, i.e. motherly instinct VS carnivorous habit.

Poor baby lamb.. looks so innocent 😔😔. I'm sure lion was just playing around before he kills it

[adeking]

Imagine just being born just to be a snack.. not even a whole meal

Lioness discovers the concept of farming: fatten'em up and save'em for another day

“Hey kiddo, scream and maybe your larger mother will show up”

[someonewashere]

I think the lioness is trying to carry it as if it was a lion cub

And I thought this video was going to be a lion protecting the baby lamb but no ☹️☹️☹️
