I agree with you on that. Those retics were definitely not in hunting mode by crashing through the undergrowth and up those tree trunks like they did. Most obviously escape behavior. The best example I've seen for large retics climbing is the photo below. Taken at the Pittsburgh, PA zoo in the late 1950's by Bill Allen Jr. At the time of the photo she was 28 feet and over 300 lbs.
