another way to say they ran away 10 points for best answer?

The Arctic Hares were 10 months old with no where to live they were on the lamb nowhere to call home. The brothers found this cave to small for predators to enter but big enough for them. so this is the story of 2 arctic hares so their not running from the law which is what on the lam is so what should I say there because technically its the law of nature but its not like real laws from government so idk thx for all answers 10 points for best answer
