The fighting style of giraffes 🦒
The fighting style of giraffes 🦒
When giraffes fight the bulls swing their heads like medieval maces.
Notice in the giraffes fighting above how the one animal lands a thundering blow on the body of the opponent with its head.
The neck is so long that the swing looks slower than it is and the blows less hard but the sounds of their impacts can be heard from 100 meters away.
Broken jaws and necks and combatants being knocked unconscious have been recorded.
Giraffe interesting facts:-
A bull rides the blows of the opponent by jumping slightly at the moment of impact.
They cannot jump and swing at the same time so the two opponents give the impression that they are taking turns to give and receive blows.
Fights like this can go on for more than half an hour.
After the fight - the winner will emphasize his dominance by briefly mounting the loser.
A group of giraffes standing still is called a tower. However ,a moving group of Giraffes is called a journey.
Giraffes eyelashes allow them to sense when they are getting too close to thorns from prickly acacia trees on which they feed.
Eating from a tree with big thorns can be dangerous because you can get your eye poked.
Giraffe gestation period: Giraffe cows are pregnant for about 15 months. A Giraffe baby is called a calf.
Giraffe needs very little sleep. They have brief naps that last from 5 to 30 minutes. Adult giraffes sleep standing up but hardly ever sleep for longer than five minutes at a time.
