People romanticize animals a bit too much. They're just survival mode most of the time... That's nature.
Still, poor foal.. Ah well. That's nature.

Right, poor little thing. Yet it was nice to think for a while that animals could be that kind.
But as you say, that's nature, neither good nor bad. I think things like this happen all the time, we just don't see them often (and that's a good thing).

One doesn't make a trend. But yes, those things happen. It's Mother Nature, and I guess we'll never really understand everything. Who knows, maybe that lioness was waiting until that oryx became big and fat for xmas. 😂
