Intense Battle Between Lioness & Giraffe Over Her Newborn Baby

[@charlesben9104]

Onlly less than one day old, it ran and walked 4 miles WITHOUT WATER OR MILK, survived lion bites to the neck, a drop down a cliff, and knew to have refuge in a river, having no knowledge of this new world and body it was in.

One of the most emotional, sad and deep nature footage I have ever seen in my life... The baby getting unexpectingly back on his feet despite being badly wounded to the head due to the lioness bites, his willingness to hold on to his short life pictured by his irregular steps, then this final scene as tired, wounded, seemingly abandonned by his once protective mother, the baby began slowly to drown under a heavy rain. Even the weather played its part while at first the sun shined on a healthy, galloping calf surrounded by a protective herd before turning into rain while the baby's fate was sealed. This footage deserves to get an award...Masterpiece.

[@jacqueslee2592]

Nature is cruel and is a race towards survival of the fittest. They must pass many tests from surviving in the womb to surviving the first days of life when you are target for all predators to young age to adulthood. Only the strongest survive from womb to old age, unfortunately. Those who survive to old age breed many times and produce able offspring as strong as them. Unfortunately, the young calf was not born as a strong calf and this is why the calf and mother got left behind from the herd. This is one of the first tests of survival after birth.

[@allstarpterosaur850]

Moral of the story: Don’t get your hopes up too high in nature. Still amazing that this baby giraffe was able to survive a lion attack and stay alive for 7 more hours. However, if the predators don’t get to you, then the elements will. Another amazing sighting, Kruger Sightings!

Not just giraffes. There are many many video examples of gnus, zebras, buffalo etc that in their haste to protect their baby will trample, kick and even gouge the little one. And what is worse is the parent only adds to the pain and suffering of its baby when there is really no way, for example, a mother wildebeest is going to be able to protect its offspring from a full grown lion, or more lions. Nature is not pretty and is heartbreaking to watch, but then you need to look at it in context. One animal, young or old dies and the animals that eat it get to survive. As well as the a animals that were not attacked live longer to breed to make more of themselves and some will be food and on and on just like it has been for millennia.

Nature is cruel and is a race towards survival of the fittest. They must pass many tests from surviving in the womb to surviving the first days of life when you are target for all predators to young age to adulthood. Only the strongest survive from womb to old age, unfortunately. Those who survive to old age breed many times and produce able offspring as strong as them. Unfortunately, the young calf was not born as a strong calf and this is why the calf and mother got left behind from the herd. This is one of the first tests of survival after birth.

[@glidershower]

There's a raw honesty coming from the relationship of predator and prey animals that has been mostly lost on us humans. While it is horrifying to put the events of wild life in a human context, you have to remember that all parties involved don't have it easy at all as giraffes are powerful animals that have been known to seriously injure or even kill predators as big as lions. Both fight for their own lives and those of their kin, both don't know any other way to live than to fight and hope to see another day. Gotta respect that. Not that I advocate for veganism or any other naïve idealistic rethoric for that matter, but we could do better as a species to provide a humane dignified treatment to the animals we afford to consume. We are what we eat, after all. Another reason I respect the practice of ethical hunting: Kill only what you're going to eat, don't make the prey suffer, and help keep the animals environment pristine and their population sustanable so other generations of humans can partake in the most honest profession an apex predator like us can take. After all, being on the top, we are expected by ourselves to show a benevolent mastery over the world, not a tyrannical domination over our lesser brethren.

We were all hoping to see an happy ending. Each second of the video made our hearts best harder for the little Giraffe

[@dmobxts]

Happy ending could also been a lion enjoying his meal.

[@jibrilleo]

It was a happy ending for the animal who eats the baby giraffe.

[@yourlovestorytarot2864]

That is so heartbreaking to see. My Mother always said, "Stella it is the balance of nature. But to this day, I cannot but only hurt to see this. Not only do humans struggle, but animals too!. He-she held on for dear life, right to the end. Goes to tell you that even an animal knows death and wants to live as much as a human would want to.

I wish we all people not eat meat! That definitely will make the planet better place!

@@liliivanova2920 what about animals that died on their own? Can I eat those? One day you'll be really sick from not eating any meat (or fish). You've been warned

One can exercise empathy and still understand the laws of nature. That’s what makes us human and moral.

[@liliivanova2920]

@@Marco-717 I did not eat meat 3 years and really want to say I was skinny (everybody can loose weight), much healthier and my brain was much sharper! And my sleep was enough 4 hours! A lot of energy! The most energy body is consuming for digestion food! That is why meat and other such products are consuming energy, the fresh vegetables are not consuming a lot of energy in digestion process!

It's too bad that giraffes don't have the intelligence to know that if they all banded together to fight off predators then nothing could hurt them.

[@halfpiint]

Thank you for this heart stopping video! Even though it caught a rare struggle to survive, I don’t think I want to see it again.

Imagine being born only for a few hours and have the strenght of this baby giraffe. Surviving after a kick of her mother, after many bites of a lioness in the neck and head but keep being able to get up and walk for many metres towards the lake and being able to stay in it for another few hours before drowning. That baby giraffe would have been an Alpha.

[@pomaranczowegury2503]

Plot twist: that was actually most lame giraffe on earth so it decided to drown rather than shame its family. Alpha girrafe would ate lion alive

But I don’t understand why did he go in the water ? And where was his mother ? Aren’t girafes good swimmers

It's creepy how the lion and hyenas just followed the mother and calf until she screwed up.

Ikr when I looked at it I see she accidentally kick her baby down the hill by mistake because she was trying to scare off the lion .
