Amazing moment lion adopts tiny newborn antelope carrying it in its mouth like a cub and even LICKING the calf clean

Graeme Mitchley captured the extraordinary moment at Kruger National Park, South Africa

Mr Mitchley said he doesn’t know what became of the calf’s mother or how the big cat got hold of it 

But the teacher did witness the lion carrying the baby like a cub and attempting to lick its fur clean

Eventually the lion carried the cub out of sight, so Mr Mitchley says he doesn’t know if the animal survived
