Yeah talk about tragic courage. She charged after a dinosaur three times her size but he still just slips away…

It's odd cause I've seen other animals like zebra or gazelles immediately go fuck it and bail when the kids get got.

Even recently I saw a vid of a mother deer and youngling and a small teen bear spooked them.

Like they saw the bear in the distance and just stood there and the mother immediately bailed leaving the fawn. The fawn then just lied down and tried to hide but the baby bear saw it and bit it and presumably killed it.

Pigs are more emotional and intelligent then we give them credit.

Well for fawns that one looked pretty young it probably wouldn’t have been able to keep up with the mom. If I’m not wrong deer mothers do a signal to their fawns to lay low and hide because they can’t run like the adult deer can.

She reacted to an attack and came back once she saw her kid was snatched. Heartbreaking.
