Antidorcas Marsupialis

 Only found in Africa 
From all across the Earth 
It can start walking 
After 10 minutes of its birth 

The calf must be careful 
Predators can be lurking anywhere 
And when he spots one 
The whole herd must be aware 

Suddenly the herd scatters 
He puts on a burst of speed 
But the cheetah has picked him
For survival, a win to the race, he'll need 

The cheetah can't run fast too long 
She starts getting slow 
She then turns around 
Letting the springbok go 

He has got away, for once 
It's not his last encounter with this cat
But he'll eat some grass now 
And worry later about that
