00:00 Nature is taking its normal course right here, on these dusty, harsh plains of the jungle.

00:13 This gazelle is giving birth to a new baby.

00:15 After 180 days of pregnancy, the child is born weighing more than 11% of the mother's

00:21 mass.

00:22 So getting the calf out of her womb is not a simple process.

00:30 His adventure starts right now.

00:33 Just as the mother sees her child for the first time, she knows it was worth the struggle.

00:39 What she didn't know is what was lurking over her from across the field.

00:46 The eagle is famished.

00:48 He was hovering all day, hoping he could find prey that could satisfy his hunger.

00:53 There is no easier hunt for the eagle.

00:56 A newborn calf and his mother, who is weakened by the birth labor.

01:00 And without hesitation, the raptor charges the baby.

01:06 But the unexpected happened.

01:07 The mother bravely shielded him.

01:10 She stood face to face with the hungry eagle, not leaving him a chance to take advantage

01:14 of her child.

01:20 Her mistake was that she thought the griffon will be easily frightened.

01:24 As it turns around, the opportunistic predator swiftly snatches the calf.

01:32 The helpless mother bitterly watched as her newborn is taken away from her, knowing she

01:37 could have done better securing him.

01:46 As for the eagle, he chose the trunk of this tree to rejoice his hunt.

01:51 All his senses are in a trance as he buries his beak into the prize prey.

01:58 The unfortunate baby calf didn't have the opportunity to delight in the pleasures of

02:03 nature.

02:04 He was seized by a formidable apex predator, who has no concept of mercy.
