Giraffes are the favorite prey of lions in the wild, but not every hunt of this notorious predator turns out to be as successful as expected.
The video shows a herd of lions taking turns attacking the giraffe, and the tall creature’s incredible fighting ability is surprising.
One by one in the lions took turns jumping, clinging to the giraffe’s tail and legs. When the lion did not have time to bite his teeth to control the enemy, he immediately received the giraffe’s heavenly kick in the face, and fell to the ground.
This resilient mammal roams wildly, kicking formidable beasts with its hind legs.
Not only possessing a physical advantage, giraffes also seem to run much faster than lions. Some also tried to approach from behind but had to give up because they were almost hit by the giraffe’s rear kick.
The video shared on Instagram garnered more than 2.4 million views and thousands of comments. “The kick is spectacular”, “The tenacious giraffe will win”, “It looks like the giraffe has been injured”, “The battle in the wild is fierce” … netizens commented.
However, the short video does not reveal the full end of the story, it seems that the giraffe has a serious injury in the thigh. After the constant attacks and bites from the lion will gradually drain the giraffe’s energy in sword fighting with predators.
Giraffes are the tallest land animals, surpassing elephants and are also the largest ruminants. Male deer can reach a height of more than 5 meters and a weight of up to 1,300 kg.
