Incredible interaction…. Even after all these years of watching lions, their sheer boldness at times continues to be mind blowing…
The title of kings and Queens rightfully belongs to them.
@@yusufayaz2356 No it doesn't.
Sometimes nature can be brutal.
sometimes humans can be unoriginal in things they say. People need to use their brains more instead of just repeating what everyone else says.
@@recononyour last quote is actually more like, poor grammar- so learn more English
Nature is indifferent, it’s neither brutal or pleasant.✌️
Grammar?? Is that your best come back?? His message was understood!!
@@user-iw3uj3vv5n well as you can see, it was so bad he has since deleted it. Yeah I understood it, but it’s like trying to understand a 5yo. We all can do better though and always learn
That's a pride that knows how to hunt. Difficult prey, but they persisted and shared duties.
lol every pride knows how to hunt. Only large prides can take down an adult giraffe. One lone lion knows how to hunt, they just can´t take down a giraffe alone. What are you talking about with that´s a pride that knows how to hunt lol
@@north2greenIdiot.
Some prides specialize in taking down very large prey like giraffes and elephants, takes a big pride
Weak lions need pride for everything

Giraffe: Don't do it kitty, I have the high ground
Lioness: you underestimate our power
That has to be one of the most unaware mothers I've ever witnessed. She killed her own damn kid because she wasn't paying attention.
It looked like the mother giraffe knocked her little one down.
very surprised they took down a giraffe without a male lion. they are great hunters.
Mother Nature: can I take your order please?
🦁: yeah, a giraffe calf
MN: anything 👀 else?
🦁: actually…yes
It's incredible how, with such skinny legs, exposed and awkward joints, and seemingly no coordination, a giraffe can generate enormous force with a kick.
That reach is amazing,though.Like dhalsim from the Street fighter series.
the power of leverage
And lions can still somehow manage to tank it on the dome
@@DissonantCat big facts.Plus, the giraffe was kicking down, generating even more power.
@@Pandemomium4Life cats have plot armor irl.🤣
This is common in a mother giraffe's defense. They are not agile enough and cant effectively separate the lion. The 3 meter kick in this direction usually impacts the taller standing bystander baby as a result while lions knowingly duck down.
The mother kicked the calf when the lioness grabbed it, then stepped on it later. No footage of when the mother was brought down?
Right I noticed that too....wondering if that was truly the same giraffe we saw at the start.
*We did not see how they managed to kill the mother though!!*
They caught her few yards later after she left the calf behind
They probably shot her, gun violence is out of control in the Masai Mara.
Its sadistic how people enjoy watching this … disgusting!!!
@@dpicardip8956
It is the most natural thing you watch in nature. What's Disgusting is when you go there to watch nature then complain about nature or even worse ( i.e. deleting the most interesting scenes as this stupid channel does) 🙄 What's wrong with you?
@@dpicardip8956you should did a hole and live in it. That’s just reality of nature. If you can’t handle that, then you better keep your eyes closed while going through life
The size and skill of the pride made taking down the mother possible, RIP mother giraffe and calf, the cycle of life continues in the wild Maasai Mara. For the many people globally who believe in reincarnation they will be reborn as maybe lions!
I hate to come back as a wart hog.😂
Sad that the mother stepped on her calf when she was stepping on the lioness.😢 But lions gotta eat, too.
The same as a lanky human, very uncoordinated.
Strategy, precise timing and teamwork. 👍🏻
I know it's nature but damn that was brutal 😰
It was heartbreaking to see such majestic animals being hunted. 💔
But i have to remember .... this is *the circle of life* ☯
The Giraffe feeds on leaves, the Lions feed on the Giraffe and a new Lion Cub can be welcomed by a healthy family ❤
Just can hope that the giraffe didn’t suffer
I've never seen a video of a giraffe successfully defending its calf and I really wonder how they're still here
I have. It’s out there. A quick search and you’ll be enlightened. A giraffe can successfully defend against a single predator but is almost certainly doomed against a pride. When there was only 3 she should’ve made a run for it.
@@HummaKavula-DontVoteForStupidMama wouldn’t leave her baby❤
It look like the mother aided the lions in the calf take down and even like she inadvertently stomped her calf a few times while trying to protect hers and her calf
Dutti is on the oxygen apparatus after this.
He's not even worth the attention he craves.....
Brave mother did her very best, bless her.
Probably one of the only animals capable of taking down such a behemoth
Did the lioness kill the baby or did the mom by stomping on it?
The mother kicked it for sure, you can see at 0:09
Yep mom
Is that kick able to knock calf out? It didnt look like was a deadly kick
Lions: "You want some beef too? Say no more!"
Giraffe: "Nah, I don't get paid enough for this! See ya on the other side of the world Timmy! I never liked you anyway!"
Coitadinha da 🦒🦒💔🙏😢
What's with the damn lady screaming her head off because the lion jumped?? Just stay at home
her husband probably sent her on an african safari in hopes she would get eaten by a lion because she made that noise in the living room when watching tv all the time.
You just get off the internet.
@robrobi6537 Screaming lady is that you?😂
She annoyed the heck out of me!!! Going off like a soccer commentator!!😫
Woman are hysterical creatures.
Them lions jumped high as hell 😅
Did mom do her own calf in???
I was thinking the same. In trying to protect ended stepping all over the calf. However, the calf may have already received enough crippling damage from the lionesses.
The queens doing what they do, best providing food for the family🩷
#justiceforolobor
Amazing footage😊
Damn!!!!......Thanksgiving in March that's what I'm talking about.
Looks like momma put the calf out of it's misery herself.
It was a forced error in trying to stomp on the lioness unfortunately.
It was heartbreaking to witness this scene. The mother giraffe's instinct to protect her children is admirable.
Looked like the poor mother giraffe looked at the car for help , :/
A light snack turned into an all you can eat.
So heartbreaking, though intellectually we know predators have to eat. Looks like moth almost gave up the fight after she saw she lost her babies to the lions
😢too sad
😢💔 muy lamentable madre e hija
Pawar full lion pride 😢😢
Why are you sad?
@@jamemule5326because pawar is full of animal pride
So tragic ending. The painful side of motherhood. It reminds me of real life situations. Youoften find such kind of mothers in rural africa. Who would do anything for their kids. Would walk miles to nearby hospitals, would wait sometimes for days to be treated, would do hard labour to earn alittle just to buy their kids some medicine.
I just dont understand why the park management need giraffe to mix with these apex pradator on land..
So they can eat them?
What the fuck of a comment is this? Apex predators are called predators because they prey on other living creatures, lions have been in the African continent for the past 3.5 million years, giraffes for about 1/3 of that, with basic maths you could tell that they have been sharing land and fighting each other for survival for about 1 million years, you cant wonder why the park manager doesen't separate them just because you find the giraffe cute and defenseless.
Because it’s nature and the park rangers aren’t god. This is a completely natural encounter. Everything is natural here in these national parks besides a couple dirt roads. Can’t interfere.
@@FloridaMan786 He thinks it's a zoo😂
Where was the rest of the herd?😢
Don't they travel in groups?
not usually
Giraffes do have nursery groups, where one mother takes care of the youngest. And the other giraffes go feeding or drinking.
Herbivores are stupid
Man I'm screaming, "just run, it's a lost cause. Save yourself!"
The only ones who can killed an adult girrafe.
@@Dutti215 True question, did you really see an adult lion get killed by a giraffe kick ? The only time i see this just a giraffe trying to kill a lioness was from an old video, the lion got stomp many time by the giraffe but shortly after get up and walk away don't know if she make it after but it show me that a girrafe kick need to hit directly a lion head to do damage but lions agility made this really hard and the rest of the body can resist pretty well😁
This pride has it's act together .
Ah man, tough to watch. As a parent, I’m just sitting here imagining how desperate and helpless the mother felt in that scenario. Eventually having to move away from her dying baby, which is worse than her eventual death. I’m glad the pride got both of them under those conditions. I’d not want to survive that (inevitable?🤷🏻♂️) situation either. Clever pride, but brutal. Oooft 😢
How could you miss the takedown??
Does the Giraffe kicked it's baby to death?
Sweet!
The mother did more damage to her calf than the lions did.
Died trying to protect her baby
It doesn't show it in the footage, but Dutti told me that the hyenas killed them both, and since lions can't hunt because they are scavengers, they stole from the hyenas. Have you ever thought about what would happen to lions if hyenas didn't hunt for them?
Giraffes are like heavy vehicles, with too many blind spots
I belive the calf has broken its neck during the fall. The Lioness bent it in the attack, and the calf fell on its own neck.
The mother was the one that knocked it down with a kick while trying to attack the lioness, then she stepped on it like twice.
Giraffe was looking at the humans asking for help.
screaming safarians is just not okay in the bush. gotta stay home folks if you cant manage nature. this isn't about you unless you want to step off the vehicle and add to the event?
The mother vould of got away at first but the will to save her young cost her life 2
Приятного опетита кошки
WHY DO YOU THINK THAT WAS NECESSARY TO POST?????
Hey, It sucks to see, I get it. Doesn’t feel good, but we can all read the title before coming in 🤷🏻♂️
@@NukSooKow-yp9py I did and saw the picture so I knew what was going to show up on the actual video. Thanks for your reply.
Never seen a Tiger take this type of risks like the Lion
Tiger hunts alone. Lions in a pride. Strength in numbers,just like hyenas, wolves and wild dogs. They take down preys much bigger than themselves.
@@sz5263 Mountain lion hunt alone but he take more risk at the hunt than Tiger. Watch the Cougars hunt Guanacos. It’s very Impressive.
I think tigers hunt pretty much anything except elephants.
I’ve seen plenty of videos of tigers hunting rhinos in Africa, you know nothing
@@definitelynotatroll246😂 tigers are not found in Africa 😂
Nature is brutal.
Three things come to mind...
1 How the lions can stay focused on the hunt while people in their noisy vehicles gawk at them
2 Animal mothers often care about their offspring more than human mothers
3 Some lions seem to prefer tender meat, some more seasoned meat
1 This is one of the things i really hate about the filming/documentary process. But then, we wouldn't have these kind of rare footage. One question from me: do these people provoke in some form or fashion the death of animals for the sake of filming?
2 I think this is an unfair assessment. While i do agree that there are some people who don't care about their children the way you or i think they should, i want to believe this is a small percentage of people that unfortunately gets magnified.
3 That made me chuckle.
RE 2.
In the last 100yrs there has been 1 billion unborn human beings but to death in the womb.Over 96% of these were healthy resulting from legal sex and where the mother was also heathy.While these videos are indeed gruesome,the resulting loss of animal life is necessary and not arbitary.
If an unborn child manages to get into this world,conditions are indeed difficult for many.@@ikaritears1792
Seems they are very much experienced giraffe hunters, bcoz hunting such a large prey without male lion is rare sight !
Uh female lions do 99% of the hunting.
Sad story
The Giraffe mother did her child in by constantly kicking and stomping on it.
At times you need to let some things go to save yourself.
Am I the only one disappointed that the actual take-down wasn't shown?
No. I was disappointed too.
wow, that's heavy
Did the mother inflict more harm to it's calf than the lions did? It looked like it accidentally kicked the calf instead of the lions at the beginning.
The mother giraffe stomped the baby out by a mistake
Sadly everyone has to eat !!!
Me encanta como patea la jirafa grande 😂
Looks like more than the lioness it was the mothers leg which injured the calf
As the American coined the phrase " Collateral damage"
Of course you missed the take down.
The best hunters in the animal kingdom, lions are the only big cats that target dangerous preys, huge herd of buffalos, giraffes the tallest animal, hippos etc.., while other big cats tigers hunt deers, wild pigs and peacocks, leopards hunt rabbits, squirrels, and Impalas, Jaguars hunt caimans the smallest and weakest members of the alligator family.
Lions are so special and unique predators.
Not true - other predators take on warthogs which are very dangerous also zebras/wildebeest. Lions are brave though.
LOL!!! Lions have one the *LOWEST* success rates among predators when it comes to hunting their own prey. African Wild Dogs are the most successful predators in Africa, with Spotted Hyenas a close second.
OK, Lion fanboy, lol.
@@Dutti215 这里没有人懂中文，请用英文评论。
@@Dutti215 鬣狗是顶级食腐动物，它们从不捕猎，这是不可能的事情。
Mother giraffes are the worst protective mothers. They almost always kick the calf when trying to fight off predators, and ends up only helping them. This one should have just left the calf and saved itself.
Time for an upgrade. Get a 4K camera please.
Cry in the bush
natureza brutal
Great mother
It's called a rifle.
It's called nature ...
Dutti you got problems.
You should help the poor Giraffe and her baby inteasd of filming to get likes MTHFKRS
Nah...
Its nature!!
However I couldn't watch that on a safari!!!!
And film it!!!!
These lions hunted big giraffe that hyenas couldn't do😮
No other animals will do this
I guess there’s an abundance of prey for the carnivorous hunters in Africa because it seems like it’s hard for any of them to ever reach adulthood with all the predators out there hungry..
That calf was soooo feeble 😮
Imagine being 4, and getting kicked in the neck by your own mom, who is a giant compared to you. That's what happened. The calf was not feeble.
Lady control your self
Double take down!
Camera crew modern day trophy hunter's
It's hard to not want to interfere
So sad😢
Too many lions, poor Giraffes their population will dwindle at this rate
Because of who ?
That giraffe tall as sheet
This is ridiculous all those people watching and no one to anything ? 😢
Exactly what I was thinking! They should stop the attack on the poor giraffes
Yes, but how would you stop a pride of lions? And then what about the idea of not interfering with nature? After all, the lions have to eat.
Why is there anytime a screaming woman

Dutti, are these the same “apex scavengers” that you always like to hate on? I don’t know why apparently, this is still scavenging according to you
@@Dutti215 You do know that all predators are occasionally scavengers and also, a lone Hyena has a hunting percentage of up to 15% so would you call that scavenging?
@@Dutti215 If you don’t hate Lions then why do you always downplay them all the time?
@@Dutti215 Using your logic that Lions scavenge more than other predators only because of their hunting success rate, there are other predators that have a lower hunting success rate than Lions such as Tigers, so Tigers would actually scavenge more than other predators, troll.
@@Dutti215 Also, the only truth here is that you do hate Lions. You just pretend that you don’t hate them, even though you do.
Lions are weak and always need a pride for everything.
Dumb mother killed her calf. Should have run when there were just 2 lions
Mothers, good ones, don’t run. But not everyone has the same instinct here
@@jillianheald-robertson1609 in nature good mothers run. They can always have a another offspring.
All ya can do is run for ya life or ya toast
Brave but not smart.
