Mountain lion spotted raising two wolf cubs in Yellowstone. Wildlife cameras in Yellowstone National Park recently captured something no one expected a mountain lion caring for two wolf cubs.

Rangers first noticed the unlikely family traveling together at night, the cubs trotting at the lion’s side as if they had always belonged there. Over the weeks, the cameras showed more: the lion pausing to let the cubs rest, sharing kills, and even circling protectively when other predators approached.
