Newborn deer or antelopes can be up and running within minutes as they have to adapt to survive in this wild world.
The antelope’s enemies are wild dogs, hyenas and even eagles. The eagles will be the most feared predators because the mother antelopes cannot attack the eagles while they are in flight.
Eagles often hide in the treetops or hover in the air and wait for the right time to strike. Young antelopes often detect danger very late when attacked by eagles.

They can only run fast and constantly change direction to escape from the eagle. The mother antelope is barely able to help her cubs in the battle with the eagle.
Many small antelopes were painfully slain and became the food of the baby eagles.
