While the animal realm is full with strange friendships, this is by far the strangest wildlife encounter I’ve ever witnessed. A lioness was seen on camera expressing devotion to what should have been her lunch – a wildebeest calf! It was the type of event that only happens once in a lifetime!

Take a look at the spectacular scene below!
This isn’t the first time a lion has shown devotion to a wildebeest, as bizarre as it may seem.

The scene, which was part of the nature documentary Surviving the Serengeti, went viral on social media and received millions of views.
