Hope you all liked last weeks boring info theme x3 This week it's a little more interesting though, this weeks theme is Kamunyak and her adopted Oryx^^ I'm starting this weeks theme a little early....

The story of this lioness is amazing. She was not part of a pride, and found a little oryx and adopted it, but the lioness could not feed the oryx, and the oryx was not old enough to digest real food, it still needed milk from it's mother. Kamunyak also could not go out to hunt, because she did not want to leave the oryx alone. Lions are supposed to eat at least every 4 days, in the end they both went 16 days without eating. On that 16th day, Kamunyak laid down to rest and let the oryx wander a little farther then she usually let the oryx go, but they had a stalker, a male lion had been watching them, and when the oryx got far enough the lion ambushed the oryx. Kamunyak tried to get the oryx back, but did not have energy, and lionessess are no match for a full grown adult lion. Over time Kamunyak adopted 5 more oryx, but none lasted as long as the first, 1 died of starvation, 3 others ran away, the last one she abandoned and it left to go find it's oryx herd. Then soon after time Kamunyak dissapeared as well, she is still alive, but she didn't have a tracking device and no one could find her, hopefully though, she went and joinded a pride, and had cubs of her own. To catch the entire story watch "Heart of A Lioness" on Animal Planet.
