Yes, they may be able to hide or camouflage themselves, but for some animals, it’s not just enough. Those hiding animals can mistakenly make a sound by stepping on twigs and rustling leaves which can give their location away. These animals also just can’t rely on trees for hiding; trees are sometimes used as shelter by other predators such as lions and tigers, which are animals who are fast as well. Nature is aware of these concerns so for these animals to escape, they have been given exceptional speed to protect themselves. There still are limitations, but most factors will work in their favor. The maximum speed of animals is affected by several factors; there is no single factor that indicates how fast an animal would be, but some characteristics weigh more than others, resulting to animals’ varying speeds.
