Lost "Misfit" Lion Cub Survives A Night of Horror | Love Nature

"Misfit" cub is used to being on his own. The pride wanders off. He's forgotten by his mother, brothers, and cousins, even by the teenagers. Alone and lost, calling for his family is not a good idea. Others may hear.
Even hippos kill cubs occasionally. Much more dangerous, the local leopard. Lions and leopards are locked in an ancient rivalry. Both kill each other's cubs if they find them. Twenty yards away from the cub, the leopard pauses.
The genet approaches. The leopard isn't distracted, locked onto the cub.
A hippo breaks the spell. Hippos may hate leopards, but are unlikely lifesavers for lion cubs.

Divine intervention. GOD looked out for this one. By all logic he should not have survived the night under those conditions. Handicapped, alone and lost, along with hunger. A hippo just happens to be in the nearby vicinity as the cub is being stalked by a Leopard. Then in that vast area in the darkness in spite of those disadvantages he finds his pride. Then escapes probable death form the older siblings. That is too many factors involved one after the other. That is not luck. This was definitely divine intervention.
