Trauma bonding in Animals
I just knew about this and it's the most endearing thing ever!! I read about the leopard and a cow being an adoptive family because of trauma bond (Media here). I love how living things are connected and emotional... ah, life does have pretty things :)
There is also a Lioness adopts multiple Antelope Calves and looks after them. It is thought she was also trauma bonding. It's not such a happy story though.
