Lions are the main predators of
giraffes.
They attack both giraffe
calves and adults.
Giraffes are usually peaceful animals.
But they will defend themselves seriously
from predators, such as leopards, lions
and hyenas.
Giraffe kicks are known to
be deadly.
Given that a giraffe’s
legs are longer than most humans are
tall, at six feet long, it’s perhaps
unsurprising that they can generate a
lot of power.
In fact, a giraffe’s
kick can generate an impact of 2000
Pounds of force Per Square inch (PSI).
That’s about the same as the
strongest kick ever recorded from a
horse and a lot more powerful than a
kangaroo kick.
As for humans, the most
powerful impact recorded in Thai
kickboxing was a relatively p 450
PSI.
Though that’s still more than
enough to fracture a skull or dislocate a
jaw, as fans of the sport will know.
Even more dangerously, and
unlike a horse, a giraffe can kick in
any direction.
Giraffes use many different methods to
protect their young from these
potentially fatal attacks.
Giraffes most commonly
protect their young by guarding them
very closely.
In this video we can
see, Mother giraffe accidentally breaks
the neck of her newborn calf with a
fatal misdirected kick.
Initially, she is trying to fight
off a savage attack from a group of
hungry lionesses.
The brutal encounter showed a panicked
mother about to kick the deadly lion
wildly.
Tragically, the aim was slightly
off the mark and it was the baby's neck
that received the full force of the
blow, not the neck of the lion.
Realizing that the blow was deadly, and
that her calf had no chance of survival.
Meanwhile, other lion members try to
attract the attention of the
mother giraffe, the other member take
the baby giraffe.
Buffaloes are an animal with horns
capable of killing lions.
It is one of the world's largest
terrestrial mammals.� Buffaloes
are powerful and courageous
creatures.
They are the world's largest
wild bulls.
Buffaloes that roam a large area of
Africa rarely live alone.
They live in herds to protect
themselves from predators.
Buffaloes love to graze near
water sources.
They only mobile when
they are in danger.
When they have to flee, they face
their foes and confront them.
They give predators like
lions a hard time due to their massive
size and lethal horns.
Indian buffaloes are
notorious for being dangerous creatures
that prefer to keep away from the main
flocks, despite the fact that they
normally dwell in herds.
Separated from the main herd,
these Indian buffaloes are
extremely courageous in comparison to
other species.
These creatures have been
known to attack elephants and
buffalo herds in the wild.
Any animal left alone, on the
other hand, piqued the interest of
predators.
Particularly lions.
Lions, the world's strongest large cat,
can hunt a wide variety of prey.
The hunting lists are
fairly varied, and buffaloes are also
on the menu.
When lions and buffaloes
come into contact, they fight
ferociously amongst themselves.
Lions' main purpose is to
catch a buffalo that breaks away from the
herd.
A buffalo can be caught by a pack
of lions if it moves away from the herd.
Buffaloes in herds are less likely to
be attacked by predators like
lions.
In the midst of a buffalo herd, a
lion has made the worst decision of
his life.
It's quite tough to escape the
buffalo herd unharmed.
Buffaloes can strike lions
with their horns and kill them if they
are angry and hostile.
The defense mechanisms are
really strong.
