The kidnapping of a baby impala by a baboon

Baboons and Impalas are often seen together. Impalas are one of the most common prey species for all predators and must always be alert. Impalas have good hearing and eyesight, emitting an alarm when they sense danger. Baboon keepers will use trees and Termite nests to check for danger and sound the alarm when danger is perceived. But this relationship takes a strange turn when the impala gives birth and the male baboon preys on the young antelope. When an animal senses danger, it will emit an alarm sound that will alert all group members and other species in the area and they will all help in searching for the danger. This cooperation is not for the good of everyone, but for the survival of individuals and their groups. Although all the animals in the area work together, this relationship is for self-preservation. However, it can be said that the initial warning is to involve all parties for the preservation of everything. Zebras and wildebeest are found together in the African savanna and graze on different patches of grass. Zebras eat the hard parts of plants, while Reindeer prefer the softer parts. Zebras will move into long grass areas before other herbivores and eat the grass to allow new growth suitable for the Wildebeest. Is this a symbiotic relationship between the animals or simply a deliberate interaction?
