Instead of the cover of the child smiling, they should have a cover of a child crying while being whipped with a belt.  :D

If this isn't photoshopped, then it's amazing!

I'm gonna call fake, unless the lion is preparing that baby deer for dinner.

Ooh, I can be semi relevant - I highly approve of the following image:

Yes, good night. It is almost midnight here, and I'm about to get off.
What, is it near 5am where you are? Wow...  :-X

Yes, the fern to the right of the lion is Polystichum setiferum and is not found in Africa. In fact there are relatively few species of Polystichum endogenous to Africa and this is a basic error in the Photoshop. The perpetrator should have replaced the fern for the much more common Pteridium aquilinum and the ruse would have gone unnoticed.

Obviously fake. The lion's tongue seems to cover part of the deer's head, yet the deer's left ear is completely unbent.

Apart from the color and lighting looking entirely mismatched, of course.

Fake, but amusing.

All of that, on the assumption that the picture was taken in the African wilderness, of course. :P

Reminds me of a documentary in which a lioness "adopts" an oryx's calf! Quite an unbelievable series of events with a tragic ending. An excerpt can be watched here.

I'm getting a kick just by imagining the true size of that exhaust mega-plume.
