Har aldrig sett giraff i livsmedelsbutiken. Beror det på att det inte finns så långa konservburkar så att hela halsen får plats?

Wow, good for giraffe to be able to shake the lions off of their back. I have seen a similar situation but giraffe loose balance and lost, it was a sad situation.
A pride of lions stalks its prey. Instead of going for easier prey like a gazelle, this pride ambitiously took on an adult giraffe. An adult giraffe can stand up to 19 feet tall and weigh up to 2,800 pounds. Young giraffes are more likely to fall prey to lion attacks, but as they grow they become more difficult to take down. Witnesses say the giraffe was able to shake the lions off.

How old are they? I wonder if the lioness on his back could’ve jumped on his throat!

Looks like a bunch of house cats clinging to an annoyed human
@JozMkIIThe legs of giraffe looks much more vulnerable than thicker ones like Elephant legs. I just wonder how the lions cannot simple bite the giraffes leg och calves making it limping and unable to hold off.
@firepowerjohanHow strong must that giraffe be? Each of lions must way nearly quarter of a ton each and there is one on the giraffes back and one on each hind leg and the giraffe can still walk!
@lillymay3632That’s a G raffe!! Casually dragging 700lbs of lions around
@JailbridgeThis clip is edited and tampered with not genuine as you can observe.i think it's only meant to generate views, likes and so on.the only ones that show reliable clips are the latest sightings.
@AbdirashidAbdirahman-f3wLioness wants a piggyback 😂
@ArranVidThe lion is truly the king of the savanna
@top5animals2024Покататься на жирафе решили
@Иван-н6з3ыLike little chihuahuas nibbling at the ankle of a wwf wrestler.
@TrollMeister_i dont think that lion on top would get off anytime soon, would just kept cheewing on the neck till giraffe would bleed out, they scared the lions away?
@flisko123They sometimes hunt down even full grown elephant, at night usually when elephant is vulnerable
@vlp1When I saw the lioness on top of the giraffe, I knew the giraffe was a piece of meat.

@abdelahadhadad2494Lions : why you keep stopping, the lights are green, jungle uber is terrible
@davidrentonThat giraffe gangster folks
@officialagwalla🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺 🇺🇦
@frunSo why didn't they show the footage of the giraffe shaking them off?
@kanibist8330Giraffe just felt the legs bit heavier as usual and an itch in his neck, not something that bothered
@amfohrI mean, can't they at least take big bites out of their legs and fill their bellies? The giraffe might also get infection afterwards and become eqsier prey
@DeVon675those poor prew animals
@robfield-n7vThe lion is attached to the giraffe like a backpack
@devilgirl3160A kick from an adult giraffe can kill a lion in an instant, as many have found out 😄 This giraffe was rather friendly luckily for the dopey lions
@racqueteer5606incomprehensible outcome!!
@janpierzchala2004I clicked on this just to see if the thumbnail was photoshopped. I'm thoroughly amazed that it wasn't.
@JB-qt4hpGiraffe got leg cancer?
@heinousanus9352They will usually not attempt to take down a giraffe unless they have two males to help because a kick from a giraffe can be fatal.
@danielwebster5748A epic fail😂
@ToriHarris-lb6zgPourquoi ils ne lui porte pas secours..c'est stupide de la parts de ces touristes qui prennent des photos..c'est nul.
@snpamine6366Probably safe to say, those lions had lost their minds and became extremely desperate, or maybe, their just a young pride..
@tommy2pieceya734Não consegue né? 😂
@tolcomedyAnd that giraffe is pulling over a 1000 lb of lions. If each lioness weighs an average of 350 lb, do the math
@AmericanAbsoluteJirafa 🦒: me aburrooo!
@gatoinsomneIt's incredible how full grown adult giraffes can reach height of 300 metres. Nature is amazing.
@yashsvidixit7169If the male lion wasn’t a spectator, the pride would have taken the giraffe down
@Pootie_TanI don't remember this scene in Attack on Titan
@acrazygamer1318The lesson: Never give up
