3. Coming Eye to Eye

Looking at the photo, we can see the lioness staring right at the desperate primate. The latter looks upon the predator as if to ask for her to spare his life. And as we all know, predators have the most solid hearts and mercy isn’t exactly their best virtue. It is even pretty safe to say that mercy is the last thing that would come up in their mind! Surprisingly though, the female hunter gazes down at her captive with evident concern and compassion! Is the lioness sympathizing with the plight of the baby baboon? Could she have felt bad for the loss of the primate’s mother?
