Very graphic, but I can't say revolting. Just sort of shockingly raw, and real. I can theorize from my own experience with a significant trauma, and from what I've read about research on mice, that the gazelle didn't feel much of that. The brain can only process so much pain, which after all is supposed to be a warning. If you're suffering that much trauma the warning isn't very useful, and I believe the brain floods the body with endorphins. In my case I suffered an injury that might be described as approximately as severe as the baboon's first bite, and all I felt was ice-cold numb.
