Usually it’s just us humans who take advantage of our pets and newborns for comic value.
But as it happens, the real McCoy’s do it just as much. We just never hear about it because animals don’t have Facebook.
Lucky then, that photographer Dafna Ben Nun captured the amazing moment a baboon lifted up her infant in scenes reminiscent of the 1994 animated classic.
38-year-old Dafna, from Israel, was in Zimbabwe when she caught the moment on camera.
The animals are usually found in open savannah and open hills around their native Africa.
She said:
I couldn’t believe it when I saw an adult baboon holding a baby, looking exactly like Simba in the Lion King.In The Lion King, mandrill and all around banter merchant Rafiki lifts newborn Simba on the edge of a cliff as Circle of Life draws to an epic close.
It was just a split second, but it was fascinating to watch.
They were all in the same group so no harm was done to any of the animals.
It would seem as if a simple three minutes of animal congregation has inspired generations of comedians.

22-year-old Kelsey was shocked when the vet offered it the trim as an option to her dad instead of just getting 10-year-old Cookie’s stomach shaved.
Speaking to UNILAD, she said:
She’s usually really fluffy so her fur is difficult to brush and it’s sore if it gets knots so they just booked her in to get her stomach shaved.
When he got to the vets they asked what parts and mentioned they could give her a mane like a lion and my dad thought it would be funny to go with that.

So he brought her home after and my mum was in shock she’s laughing about it now but was just the shock she went to get her stomach shaved and came back like a lion.Kelsey’s tweet received 2k retweets and over 11k likes. Let’s see baboon get THAT.
I was shocked because I thought it has been a mistake until my dad explained he’d agreed to it for a laugh.
