Giraffes Fighting

In the who’s who of the boxing world we would like to proudly present our very own Mayweather versus McGregor of the animal kingdom. These two bulls were literally at it “neck and neck” but in the end, as we all know, there can only be one winner…

On the way there, we came across 2 huge giraffes grazing nearby the road. I started to take some footage most likely out of the frustration of not seeing much that day. To myself and my parent’s amazement, another male giraffe entered the scene looking to stamp down his authority on the unsuspecting bystanders.
He immediately started a duel with another bull and I felt excited because I have only seen similar footage on a David Attenborough documentary. I thus knew that this sighting was unique.
This was one super awesome sighting”.

Male giraffes fight with their necks because it's the most powerful and maneuverable weapon they have. Bulls fight to establish dominance or to win the right to mate with the females (cows) in a particular area. Necking in their world is the most violent and unpleasant experience they're ever likely to engage in. These fights are very serious, with the giraffes repeatedly slamming their necks against one another with the intent to cause real injury. They use head butts and the horns on top of their heads, known as ossicones, to inflict damage to the soft underbelly. They may also try a debilitating kick with their hooves.

I love how they basically have to stop for a few seconds bc they’re dizzy then it’s back to the fight like “time out time out! ... okay go”

Giraffe: “MY GOOD SIR, I CHALLENGE YOU TO A DUEL”

Reminds me of those wavy wacky inflatable things at car dealerships lol.

[SnivyDoll]

They fight so gracefully, how is this even possible

[Tootisepop]

*Imagine a life where humans fought like giraffe's*

[ImagineJulii]

I love how they take a second to gather themselves after a couple swings and hits. I’m sure it’s cause they’re dizzy and have to wait for the safari to stop spinning

[FewToast]

yes, i searched up "giraffes fighting" just so i could see this again

[da_purple_lizard]

I love how they fight in the goofiest, most cartoonish way possible. You think "There's no way giraffes actually fight with their necks, that sounds like something a kids movie would implement to be expressive" and then they actually do. Hilarious.

This looks like the most passive aggressive fighting I’ve ever seen in nature

[TypicalTrickShots]

okay so baisically this is the funniest thing ive ever seen in my life

[spnclws]

This is so surreal to me. The way they whack each other with their long neck looks like something straight out of an SFM animation.

[emme]

They don't even look at each other. How can you fight someone without giving them the death glare first?

[piperblack]

You spin my head right round, right round

[noahlutgen]

One minute they’re peaceful the neckst minute they’re fighting

[igoriusz]

1:14 did that boy just knocked himself out XDD

[alexandredesouza]

I love how casually they're fighting each other, it's like they don't even care.

0:30 *THE DODGE!!!*

[beepst]

I love how they just chill after they fight.

[maximillianosaben]

*Come at me bro!*
- *I will! In 5 seconds!*

[bluechex]

Standing shoulder to shoulder being mad but not looking at each other. "Ah, let me just stretch my neck a bit your way."
The most aloof, passive aggressive fighting ever.
