A hilarious video has shown the moment a giraffe kicked an ostrich that was trying to attack him.

The footage begins with the ostrich following the giraffe closely at the St. Louis Zoo before it walks directly into the tall animal as it violently flapped its wings.

In response, the giraffe calmly kicked the ostrich with its back leg, sending the flightless bird soaring, and eventually crashing into the ground.

It could then be seen struggling to get back up in the aftermath.

But a short time later, the ostrich tried to approach the giraffe again — only to run away and walk directly into a rock wall, according to Devika Seth, who filmed the encounter at the end of March.

The Texas judge told DailyMail.com she and her family were in Missouri for her daughter's volleyball tournament when they decided to check out the local zoo.

'We noticed there were two giraffes and an ostrich,' she said, noting that she thought it was odd that the zoo would put the two animals together.

'I wanted to see kind of what happens,' Seth said, already expecting there to be 'drama' between the animals.

And sure enough, there was.

Seth said she watched as the two giraffes 'were kind of together' for a moment, before they separated.

That is when, she said, the ostrich decided to attack.

'It was unbelievable,' she said, adding that she had to stop recording for a little while 'because my husband, my daughter and I were laughing.'

Following the video, she said, the two giraffes got back together and started nuzzling their necks together as the ostrich once again approached them.
