They will eat the deer later when they're hungry.

i've read about this lion, she lost her cubs or something and keeps adopting random babies, normally they end up eaten

Actually, contrary to alot of assumtions about eating it, she tried desperately to protect it. Not sure if this is the one who was eventually killed my a male, but the same lioness adopted and raised several caffs.

It was eaten by other lions. I don't understand why she just runs away from her lion pack or whatever they call a group of lions

I read Hansel and Gretel. I know what the lioness has in mind when she is "adopting" the gazelle

She keeps the gazelles till there strong enough to return to its herd

Actually if you watch the documentary she prevents the calves from returning to the herds, even though that's where the calf instinctively knows that's where it needs to be for survival. No calf has lived, they all either die of starvation or get eaten when they wander off a bit. This isn't nature being beautiful.

She doesn't eat them, they starve to death or get eaten themselves because they can't return to their herd.

Actually she has returned at least 1 to a herd. She also starves, because she won't leave them to hunt.

I read that when wild animal mothers lose a baby (killed or natural), during that time is when you see these kinds of things. The mother instinct is still strong so they protect babies of any species.
