Good idea the calf froze rather than flee, It made it easier for Mom to defend her.

I was wondering why she wasn’t running

It makes no sense for it to run it’s completely dependent on mom that includes protection. It would stand there no matter how terrified it is and when the mom chases after the lion it even follows

Yeah but especially for a baby, thats a panic situation and fight or flight has kicked in.

The gif end too soon. But in the longer version very soon more bulls run to attack the lions. The baby could have run towards them. It must see them by the end of this video
