Default Lion cub leads ranger to dead mother

I appreciate nature will always take its course but I found myself saddened when I read this.

Quote:
A lion cub has led forest rangers to its mother's corpse in an Indian sanctuary, an act described by officials as very unusual behaviour.

A forest guard, who saw the cub hiding in the bushes, followed it and went on to discover the body on a nearby hill.

The cub then guarded his mother until the ranger returned with forest and police officials to remove the carcass.

He will reward your kindness one day by eating you for breakfast.
Before that he'll drain your bank account thanks to food costs.I bet a growing lion cub eats at least 20 pounds of meat a day.It would be like having 10 teenage sons.

Unfortunately, here in Commie Canada you must be a zoo in order to keep exotic animals.

The only way the authorities would discover that you needed the permit is if someone lives to report that you have a hungry lion. Seems like an easily resolved problem.

The old testament of the Holy Bible has a promise about lions that I like, but it still seems like a long way off.

Isaiah 11:6-9
6 "The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb,
The leopard shall lie down with the young goat,
The calf and the young lion and the fatling together;
And a little child shall lead them.
7 The cow and the bear shall graze;
Their young ones shall lie down together;
And the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
8 The nursing child shall play by the cobra’s hole,
And the weaned child shall put his hand in the viper’s den.
9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain,
For the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord
As the waters cover the sea.

They do not mention dinosaurs.
What do creationists say about that
