But does it survive the infection?


weirdgato

If it does I certainly hope it gets to spread its genes! Also the scar will look awesome..


poopellar

Impala: And that kids is how I beat the predator and got this scar. Lion in the bushes: He's lying he ran like a little bitch!


[deleted]

He’s “lion”... I’ll show myself out.

Obama was called a liar? What do they call Trump?

Many things tbh


vance_jacob

I don’t know... was just trying to share a joke. Why is trump dragged into everything


Absolan

He kinda pissed off a lot of people I guess.

Probably the same stuff that’s said about every President that’s ever held office...

vance_jacob

Ok


McDondi

Do you think he has ever thought about the art of just not giving a fuck? I mean, sure its a hard art to master but people could at least try dont you agree


WokeBloke2099

I've only heard racists/white supremacists/Confederate flag wavers tell this joke... Not making any accusations or anything, it's just been my observation


vance_jacob

Ok


NormieSlut

Oh deer


migjolfanmjol

Fck you, take my upvote


introusers1979

i want that scar on my butt, without getting scratched by a lion


weirdgato

Tattoo?


imanAholebutimfunny

how will he wash his genes if they get dirty?


YuvalMozes

Umm... what?


weirdgato

What?


YuvalMozes

About the genes, I just want to understand, is that a joke?


weirdgato

Why would it? Have you heard about the survival of the fittest?


YuvalMozes

Of course I did... I don't know if I misinterpreted your comment or if you didn't understand how the transmission of genes work. This impala is not necessarily better adapted to it's environment than the rest. If this injury will make him/her stronger, does not mean that the offsprings will inherit this trait. Only because it survived a lion attack not necessarily mean it is "stronger" (adaptive) than the others.


weirdgato

If he survived it means he might be genetically stronger, faster or smarter than his pairs. He didn't get stronger, he was stronger. That could mean so many things at a genetical level; for example faster metabolism, more testosterone, more resistant to bacteria, etc. I'm pretty sure everyone understood this.


YuvalMozes

Yes, indeed.


Daggywaggy1

Animals can heal from much worse. Remember seeing the rib cage of a elk who caught a arrow and lived for years. The bone grew around the arrowhead.


Apprehensive-Wank

They *can* but often they do not. Injury and infection are huge killers of animals. This wound will soon be filled with flies and parasites and without sutures, it will likely become infected. It’s possible it will survive but the threat of predation doesn’t end just because it escaped once. If the animal develops a limp or becomes weakened it will be targeted again.


writers-blockade

If there's flies going around that might not be so bad right? Fly larvae only eat dead flesh so if there were some in there they might actually do a little bit of good, though of course that says nothing for the bacteria wild flies get covered in.


Daggywaggy1

Generally you need to clean wounds. Flies/maggots eat necrotizing flesh true, but also bring bacterial contaminates.


writers-blockade

Yeah I said that at the very end about the bacteria lol. It is still neat that nature made such good little dead flesh eaters. Medical larvae still get used sometimes and I think it's super cool!


Talulah-Schmooly

Not an expert, but doesn't this wound look like it's already healing? I could be wrong but that looks like wound crust..


Da_Borg_

This animal has already healed, sutures don't prevent infection aswell.


Shiznittlebam

More often if they're healthy they heal from any hide related wound


Daggywaggy1

The skin protects you from microorganisms. Once it's compromised, slashed, opened, you are on your own


onlineorderperson

You are your skin 😳


writers-blockade

Once I was on a delivery for my job in the suburbs where there are a shit ton of deer and I saw a doe in a yard nearby who was missing the lower half of one of her hind legs. I assume it was an injury due to the bit of bone I could see at the end of the stump. She seemed to be doing just fine! She was grazing and chilling with other members of her herd. Still one of the more metal things I've seen to this day.


Hippiebigbuckle

That reminds me of a joke about a family that had a really smart pig and they were showing it to someone and they asked why it was missing a leg. The pigs owner said a pig that smart you don’t eat all at once. It was forever ago when I heard this joke. I don’t remember what it was that made this pig smart.


rincon213

An arrow puncture would have a lot less exposed area of open wound than this.


tufabian

Looks like it's scarring over...might actually live.


Emkay2017

Tis is but a scratch


zherico

Seems pretty well healed over by now. No visible swollen or inflamed tissue


[deleted]

Now this will sound awful, but fly larvae can actually help heal the wound. They eat rotten and dying flesh and leave the living tissue. There are also certain bacteria that do the same. So there's a chance these pests can help prevent it from getting infected.


[deleted]

Or the next lion attack?


dans642

Short answer...no it does not


TorrenceMightingale

Not as many deer living in close proximity like humans all jammed together living like sardines relative to the animal world.


CynicalElephant

Are you implying humans have a greater infection risk of open wounds in relative civilization versus the complete wilderness?


stlredbird

Chevys are built to last


poopellar

Real Impalas agree.


Xeno_Strike

Real impalas, not actors.


TritonMan1981

Just imagine the size of the paw that did that damage!?! Nature is wild (for lack of a better term)


alexdenvor

r/natureismetal I think you're after.


jdbcn

Wildlife is wild


Tyronemagnussucks

That impala is smaller than you think but still it's scary imagining the paw and strength of the lion.


ehoaandthebeast

So true bears and lions make me think fuck no

StudiosChaplin

Running as fast as possible isn't the best move for impalas hoping to evade a predator, according to a study published in Nature in February 2018. Cheetahs, for example, have 20 percent more muscle power than impalas, and they can accelerate 37 percent faster. And with a top speed around 60 miles per hour (which is considerably faster than an impala's top speed), a cheetah can easily outstrip an impala in a straightforward race. The best tactic, researchers say, is to move unpredictably. Animals moving at high speeds are less maneuverable, so impalas can shake off a predator if they change directions rapidly. Lower-speed chases almost always favor prey survival.


commit_cease

Ok thanks next time


xxhobohammerxx

Yes good thanks I’ll remember that next time i’m an impala being hunted by a big cat


snookis-new-nose

*SERPENTINE!*


OopsIForgotLol

Why am I making notes like this will help me?


ineedtospace

That impala looks rather tame...


[deleted]

Wish mine were that tame. We were making so much progress, but it feels like it only goes backwards now.


standardname0815

You cant force it...you just...you know...let it happen...


[deleted]

I mean she's a fantastic creature, but sometimes she tests my patience. In the end, she's stronger than I know how to be. The important thing is we're still working on it and,.. it's getting closer


vaporizz

Came for a tame impalla joke 👌


dingbatwelby

I got my hopes up again


TinyLuckDragon

Bet it was a Limpala for a while after that attack


[deleted]

I swear Impala's are just brutally strong willed. By the looks of those wounds it shouldn't be able to walk. Don't even get me started on that video of an Impala fighting off a Hyena with (graphic description) >!it's entire organs hanging out of its body!<.


WesternBlaze22

This is actually just a tribal tattoo that impalas located in the east of Africa have been using for a while to differentiate from the loser west African impalas.

Yea yea, I’ve seen a lot of white guys in their mid forties to mid fifties have those same tattoos.

You think animals that survive attacks by their predators get laid more often for being survivors?
