Man Saves Lion Stuck in Swamp, But What the Lion Did Next Was Shocking

This year's drought in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area is more severe than any previous year.
The heat wave has continued for a long time, causing daytime temperatures to reach 48°C.
The ground is cracked, parched, and there is almost no underground water to sustain life.
More than half of the reserve's herds of wildebeest and zebra have been forced to leave to find water elsewhere.
The once lush grasslands are now bare, turning a withered yellow under the harsh sun.
Surrounding the barren land are only a few hardy animals clinging on with a faint hope.
Among them is an old male lion, with sparse hair and so thin that his ribs are clearly visible.
He refused to leave the reserve when his herd had gone far away, as if waiting for a miracle to return everything to the way it was before.
