          They probably never live long enough to be this old and out of shape. If they can’t run away, they’re easy pickings for wolves and panthers. Humans are lucky that we can defend those who are unable to defend themselves. Baby deer come out prepared for running. Our babies can’t lay on their stomachs for months.

            I don’t think anyone can lay on their stomachs for months. That’s a very long time to maintain a single position.
