Just Keep Still: Miraculous, Mysterious Rescue of Gazelles from Wild Dogs

Just keeping still is key to avoiding being hunted. To escape wild dogs, which now appear may be wolves, the gazelles have taken refuge on a rock ledge so narrow that almost only they can stand on it.

The wild dogs surround them and try different ways to hunt them, but all their efforts come to a dead end.

The secret to saving deer is not to move. The slightest movement may cost them their lives. If they stay still, the wild dogs cannot climb the rock slope and reach them. The same thing happens. The deer remain still and the wild dogs eventually give up and leave.

The amazing thing is that deer know quite instinctively not to move. They have not received any training and maybe they have never been in such a situation before; But instinct tells them how far wild dogs can go and what they must do to survive.

This is one of the wonders of nature.
