Giraffes are hunted by lions, although only infrequently. Lion hunting is a perilous and difficult endeavour. When they do, they preferentially target the young, vulnerable, sick, pregnant, and frail giraffes. Typically, lions approach giraffes from behind, knock them to the ground, suffocating them to death, and then consume them. A lion can never defeat a giraffe because to the giraffe’s enormous size and height. A giraffe is so tall that a lion would never be able to reach its throat to bite it, which is often how it attacks large animals.
When pursuing an adult giraffe, a lion is at a disadvantage, but it can rely on the assistance of other members of its pride to bring it down. A video depicting a giraffe brutally attacking and driving away a lioness is going viral on social media. The video begins with a lone lioness attempting to hunt a lone adult giraffe that became separated from its flock.
While defending itself, the giraffe becomes enraged and stomps on the lioness. The tall giraffe then repeatedly kicks the apex predator. This causes the lioness to flee in order to avoid being trampled to death. The video got over 33,000 views on Instagram after being shared there. “Poor kitty,” commented a user. Another person remarked, “Thank goodness they both get to walk away…today,” A third user added, “She took some serious kicks to her back.”
