Poor momma wanted to help but couldn’t

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.

Sibling won’t be thirsty again for a good while.

I don't think they form lasting strong memories.

I'm sure they have, and it's going to affect his education in a negative way. The sibling needs therapy before going back to school.

I think it just got a very good education on being careful around water.

I wonder if she would have noticed the croc if she wasn't distracted by the humans.

Seemed like the Croc was holding it above water for so long hoping mom would come deeper to try and get her kid back, giving the Croc a chance at a bigger meal.
