Thanks!!<BR/><BR/>I still believe the scene we witnessed was magic - whatever evolutionary, instinctive or emotional labels we might give it.<BR/><BR/>Attaching an 'emotional capacity' to any animal that cannot explain their behavior is probably a mistake we all make and for that reason these actions and behaviors are open to our own interpretations. Therein lies the mystery and a large part of what attracts us to nature. <BR/><BR/>Yes. All mammals must have a certain emotional capacity which, depending on their environmental and other factors, will evolve over time.<BR/><BR/>By trying to view nature and these emotional manifestations objectively, or at the very least just sit back and watch it unfold, whatever your viewpoint, is magic in itself. <BR/><BR/>'Magic' can be something as simple as a zebra grazing in the grassland or something more 'intricate' such as this lioness and her kill. <BR/><BR/>The 'magic' of being able to share nature's story is something that, I hope, will keep on fascinating us for many years to come!<BR/><BR/>Thanks again for all the comments!!Photo-Africahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02704045736607291695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349393253679934487.post-88150891412957449782008-10-27T22:27:00.000+02:002008-10-27T22:27:00.000+02:00This comment has been removed by the author.Photo-Africahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02704045736607291695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349393253679934487.post-78042795791100391542008-10-27T21:16:00.000+02:002008-10-27T21:16:00.000+02:00the only reason this is "magic" is because people ...the only reason this is "magic" is because people want to believe it is. <BR/><BR/>Since humans are animals that evolved from animals of arguably lesser intelligence/emotional capacity, there's no reason to think that ONLY humans have any intelligence/emotional capacity, therefore making something like this seem like, "magic." <BR/><BR/>Evolution by means of natural selection is a gradual process. The only way we as humans could get to where we are is by building off of species that already had these traits, just to a lesser or different extent. The capacity for emotion and intelligence must exist within all or most mammals. <BR/><BR/>If you consider how much we kill each other, as well as other animals, simply as a percentage or proportion, it could be argued that we as humans are of lesser, more aggressive, emotional capacity than, lets say, chimpanzees.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349393253679934487.post-4229476889571627472008-10-27T20:33:00.000+02:002008-10-27T20:33:00.000+02:00Mother's instinct or not, even animals can appreci...Mother's instinct or not, even animals can appreciate that they need the young of their prey if they are to survive.

She could be feeling compassion, though I know that most people don't believe animals have compassion. Or maybe the fetus was rotten and she knew better than to eat something rotten or sick. It is interesting how we want to project human emotions. <BR/>Nonetheless, the photos and experience are amazing.
