Mother animals will typically do whatever they can to protect their young. The expression "mama bear" actually comes from how a bear will attack anything that it sees as a threat to its cub. Big cats will show similar defensive behavior.

"Prey" animals have evolved so that they can run away from danger soon after birth. For example, foals (baby horses) can typically stand and walk minutes after being born.

Hope that answers your question!
