Story about tiger that befriends deer??

Question

I remember a story from a couple of years back, about a wild tiger that befriended a deer(Im sure it was), and they use to walk around with each other and the tiger would protect it.. untill he went off to hunt and another tiger killed it, but there is footage of this somewhere, and ive tried youtibe but I dont seem to be finding it, even searched yahoo. was it a deer, or was it another deer shaped animal...

it was an amazing story, as the it was natural prey for the tiger, but it chose to be friends with it, which was also amazing as tigers like to live alone..

someone must remember it, please help

Answer 1

Nope - don't remember that - how about a gerbil that's quite friendly with a hamster ?

Answer 2

A lioness named Kamunyak adopted a total of about 6 oryx over a period of a number of years.  She lived in Lewa Wildlife Conservancy.  I think it is a very sad tale, as a lioness she should have been part of a pride.  

I have no knowledge of a tiger adopting a deer, so perhaps this is the story you are trying to find.
