When Russian zookeepers realized that newly born lynx cub Nika had been abandoned by her mother, they knew that they would have to think outside the box if they wanted her to survive. So, they did something pretty unexpected.



They introduced Nika to a mother house cat and her babies. This might seem like an unusual pairing, but the truth is that the zookeepers hoped that the baby big cat and the mama small cat would be able to bond in spite of being technically two different species.



The mama cat was nervous at first, but within minutes she was grooming and caring for Nika as if she was one of her own. This is a natural born mother cat, and she knows an abandoned baby when she sees one!




Nika was going to make it! The zookeepers were thrilled to see that their unconventional plan had actually been successful! Being abandoned by her own mother didn’t have to be a death sentence for little Nika, it seemed.




Nika’s adoptive mom is always there looking out for her… and keeping her in line! Look at this classic mom move. It’s like the mother cat is saying “Come here so I can get a good look at you. Oh my goodness, you’re a mess!”
