The article discusses predation as the main mortality factor of ungulates and giraffes, especially the neonatal ones and the adopted mechanisms by them such as birth synchrony in order to lessen predation on calves. It also discusses the establishment of nursery groups or crèches by animals such as elk, giraffe, and Nubian ibex.
