What does the lioness eat? - she is so confused she won't know whether to graze for forage, or bring back meat for her confused baby! - heh heh

This story is beginning to become eerie.

Maybe tonight there will be a voice from the sky speaking to the lioness: "All right, for the last time, I said go find a lamb...."

I saw one documentary where a lioness picked up some other young cat, but eventually abandoned it. This case is much stranger.

Isn't there something in the Bible about the lion laying with the lamb?

Animals are wierd. Next thing they're going to tell us is that the lioness is a lesbian who likes dancing with the leg of one of the zookeepers.

Leg? An arm can be quite tasty.

Wolf and lamb, lion and calf I believe but I will check. If all four show up with a human child watch out!

6"The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, The leopard shall lie down with the young goat, The calf and the young lion and the fatling together; And a little child shall lead them.

7The cow and the bear shall graze; Their young ones shall lie down together; And the lion shall eat straw like the ox.

Isaiah 11:6-7

And the lion will lay down with the lamb. But the lamb won't get any sleep.

I wonder what the lioness would do if they placed a baby lion with her?

Well what is up with this lioness?? Is she unable to have cubs of her own? Is she like those women who go into maternity wards trying to kidnap newborns?

I think it's time to call in the animal psychologists here....lol!!

Man, was he off. He didn't say a thing about an Oryx and Lioness.
