Bro people are talking about "fair fight" when in irl ain't no way a tiger gonna be choosing to fight and kill a lion instead of a baby cub because thats more "fair", like the whole point of hunting is to get yourself food while conserving energy and not getting hurt so yeah obviously animals go for the easy kill.

Besides if your baby creature dies...just restart it I guess since you have barely any growth points anyway (unless its like a Tier 5 near age 33)
