Tanzanian wildlife park releases photos of lioness nursing leopard cub

Newly released photographs from a Tanzanian wildlife area have shown the rare sight of a leopard cub suckling on a lioness that is believed to have given birth to a litter last month.

The five-year-old lioness lies unperturbed as the small leopard, estimated to be a few weeks old, nurses in the photographs taken by a guest at a lodge in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, a United Nations World Heritage site.
