Incredible moment lioness spares baby baboon after killing his mother and gently NUZZLES it... before the tiny creature is plucked to safety by his brave father

A Connecticut photographer has captured a thrilling encounter between a baby baboon and a 350lb lioness in a game park in Botswana.
The incredible pictures show the moment the baboon's mother is killed, leaving the baby face-to-face with the roaring predator.
But instead of swallowing the tiny creature, a tender moment ensues where the baby baboon attempts to suckle the lioness and the big cat gently plays along.
However, in the fascinating display caught on camera, the little one is finally plucked to safety by his brave father.
Hyenas are the worse when they come to killing you and eating you.
