>In first ever sighting, wild lion adopts leopard cub
>A wild lioness has been observed suckling a leopard cub in Tanzania's Ngorongoro Conservation Area, in the first ever observed instance of such animal behavior. Although certain cats like lions have been observed taking in and nursing the young of others of their own species—usually kin of their relatives—this sighting of cross-species adoption is unprecedented.

Cross species adoption is common in the animal kingdom. Even if it's raised with other lions, it's going to have to go out on its own at a relatively young age, mother or not. Other lions will kill it early on otherwise.

Male lion will kill the thing. They kill cubs that arent their own. they have special dna sensory that tells them which cub is genetically theirs
