Interspecies suckling has been documented among captive animals, but this sighting is pretty much mind-blowing to lion experts. Typically, a lioness would kill a baby leopard.
"It's unprecedented," Luke Hunter, president and chief conservation officer of the global wild cat organization Panthera, told The Washington Post. "It's a once-in-a-lifetime event."
