Ooo..goosebumps, I'm getting em. She was very fortunate that the lions didn't devour her right on the spot.
Reminds me of a documentary about a specific female who adopted a baby impala (Or another kind of African deer) and wandered through the Savannah plains for weeks without killing the baby until a lone male lion caught the baby while the female was distracted. The female looked after the baby and even licked it clean and slept with it, etc.
The point was, it can happen - animals taking care of humans in need and other animals of different species as well.
