Photographer Mr Donovan, from New York, said: ‘It was a bizarre yet stunning sight to behold. I was excited about the lions, and when she captured the springbok I was waiting for the kill.
‘But it never came and started cleaning the calf. That’s the mysterious way of nature, never knowing what will happen next.
‘Then she protected her adopted springbok cub from the other lions. These are the moments I seek when I go to Africa.’
