Deer Calf Narrowly Avoids Becoming Dinner | Mountains: Life Above The Clouds | BBC Earth

During the spring, one third of all newborn calves are killed by one highly specialized deer hunter. This grizzly bear has just come out of a five-month hibernation, and she's famished. The grizzly's sense of smell is 2,000 times better than a human. But this calf has a trick to avoid being sniffed out. She has been born almost without scent herself. The bear's nose is no use. But grizzlies are smart and have other tactics. She methodically combs through the meadow. The calf must stay absolutely still. The worst thing to do now is run. The bear ambles away, unaware of the meal that was under her nose. The mother returns to her calf. Her legs are growing stronger. Her mother can now lead her back toward the mountains and the safety of the herd. In the Rockies, sometimes the bravest animals come in the smallest sizes. you
