I wanted to see more 
baboon needs feeding!! But remaining thought is that pareting is present in all animals.

#1 - I doubt it was consciously preserving the offspring of an enemy species. It was most likely a mixture of curious, playful, and confused. Even so, it is still heartwarming, and absolutely fascinating to watch.
Nature never ceases to amaze.

I've seen the all clip somewhere and the baby didn't survived the night cold.

#8 if that's true, i don't see why the camera crew didn't do anything to save it, if they already had all the footage they needed, they could have hauled its ass to a zoo...

#10 Perhaps they didn't do that cause they wanted to preserv balance in nature? None of this actually happened with human influense so its better to let nature untouched.

Honestly, I think it was some kind of simple chemistry that naturaly occurs in every newborn to stop mother from accidentaly kill it.

Romulus & remus, the book of the jungle, tarzan ... may be they weren't only tales and legends but based on actual facts

@10 : They didn't have all the footage they needed until they got the footage of the baby dying.
@1 : I think a species that made a habit of preserving the offspring of its natural enemies wouldn't survive very long.

Shortly afterwards Madonna arrived and adopted the baby in preparation for her Blond Baboon World Tour.

i don't see any protection here, the Leopard instinct is telling him the Baboon is died! something popping out of the died and wonder around for the Leopard that thing is still died! ( Leopard doesn't interpret little Baboon movements as alive! this is just our conception as human) the hunting instinct is kept off! the confusion of the Leopard turned on other instincts, maybe trigged by the size of the little Baboon...
even with sophisticated human brain, you'll get the same reaction

this is amazing even the killer instinct of a predator sometimes could beat human nature

At 3:17 my heart just sinks, that little, tired and resigned look on the lil'ones face...Seen so much in his short life,
Intriguing lil film as it's sad, moving, horrid and heartbreaking at the same time. By right;

what can someone say about nature... A predator helping the preservation of an enemy species.. Nature just looks after itself.. i wish we could participate as selflessly.
