Intense Battle Between Lioness & Giraffe Over Her Newborn Baby

- While still learning to walk, a newborn giraffe must fight for its life from a hungry lioness with only the protection of its mother! The giraffe escapes the lioness, but the ending is something you’d never expect! Incredible footage by escapesafarico.com?lsv & safarinut.com?lsv
This unbelievable sighting was captured by 30-year-old, Wildlife photographer and owner of Escape Safari Co, Don Heyneke and by safari consultant Rustom Framjee, founder of Safarinut, while on safari in Olare Motorogi Conservancy, Masai Mara, Kenya.

Don tells LatestSightings.com the story: “A female giraffe gave birth to a baby calf. 30 minutes after being born, the giraffes are already able to walk with only minimal stumbling and, within 10 hours, they are able to run. Unfortunately for this young calf, a hungry lioness and hyena showed interest in the calf right after it was born.”
“The interested lioness and hyena were trailing the giraffe and her calf, but the hyenas quickly lost interest, leaving only the lioness who was almost herding the herd for over 6kms (4 miles). The newborn calf was knocked over several times by its mother while trying to escape the lioness.”
“After walking 6kms, the giraffe and her baby, who at this point had not even had a sip of milk in its life yet, reach a dead-end caused by a riverbed. The lioness creeps up to them, thinking this is the finale to an already intense series.”
“The mother tried to protect her calf from the lioness and panicked - accidentally bumping the new-born down a cliff. The new-born calf was now stuck in the riverbed, the mother went outside the riverbed and tried to coax the young calf out but it was too weak to climb the bank.”
“The calf lay down and at this point stood no chance against the apex predator who took the opportunity to grab the calf and carry it towards the water.”
“The mother did her best to protect her new-born calf and chased the lioness away multiple times and at this point, we thought the calf was 100% dead. To everyone’s surprise, it stood up but not for very long as the calf ended up finding safety in the river where it fell asleep from exhaustion. The baby giraffe, with a fight for survival like no one has ever seen before, drowned.”

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. He/she was highly intelligent and resilient, an alpha giraffe indeed. You wont be forgotten little girl/guy. RIP.
It lost a lot of blood from the bite to the neck .

The absolute tenacity of this baby giraffe is nothing but amazing. It survived a harsh lioness attack, afterwards manages to walk a long time with severe wounds and escape, only to survive for 7 more hours while in relatively deep water and holding on to all high strength AS A NEWBORN. Incredible.

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.
Killed by life.

i am wondering what all the fools which say to the people, "animals should be in the wild" have to say, i guess they think that lions and wolfs are vegetarians.

So devastating and sad. I was hoping the little giraffe would be reunited with its mother instead of drowning like that. It tried to get out of the water. It tried so hard. My heart broke for this little creature.
They're natural prey animals. It's fine. Also sad for the lion. An animal expended energy and risked injury just to be able to feed itself and possibly its babies.
Giraffe are pretty useless as protectors. If the herd had stood with them, like elephants do, it would have survived.
The mother killed her baby by kicking it in that ditch. Nice way to protect your baby.
@@matthewklassen7457 seriously, herbivores are the dumbest. I've seen a water buffalo gore its own kid trying to chase a few lions.

Wow I was shocked when the baby stood up and walked away after the lion attack, I'm just curious as to why the mother didn't help the baby once it got up and started stumbling around.
Mother knew it was too weak and that the baby wasn’t gonna last long .
She knew it was critically wounded by it's walking and knew it's time would be short, and it was.
Looks like the mother came back a few times to shoo the lion away....and then walked off again. @@williestarke
After the mothers adrenaline faded it recognised the baby was sick so abandoned it.
i I feel very sorry for the mother and baby. I'm sure she tried her best to protect her baby but she had just given birth and was probably very weak and wasn't able to do anything different. I would like to know what happened to the mother, if she lived or got attacked herself. I hope she made it safely and met a group of other giraffes to get with for her safety. If she survived, she will grieve the loss of her little one so, please don't talk bad about the mother.
What a brave little fella...

@@banewade9579 I'm not a tough guy. But this isn't sad. Prey populations do just fine with predation. It's a normal part of their lives. People project their feelings onto nature way too much. There's nothing special about a predator killing/eating a baby prey animal.
@@faraz-i3x yea no shit they arent going extinct, but this aint a normal part of their lives. No doubt the mom is devastated by this and probs will be the worst day of her life unless she gets eaten herself. Its not people projecting its pretty obvious that animals get sad when their babies die like tf you talking about. What do you think is more sad than this? Other than like a forest fire since you seem to think that it aint sad if it doesnt have an effect on the species as a whole.

There is nothing more than that, just copping mechanisms.

@@pfpchad2747 doesn't we have freedom and right to feel sad about that little suffering soul? Doesn't that little baby deserve little heartfelt condolences and sorrows for her plight? Don't be so cruel. Everyone here knows cruel and brutal laws of nature but that doesn't take away fact that the same nature has given us heart that thinks, cares, bleeds, feels pain of and cries for others. U must be a bot to comment in so heartless and inhuman way. People of ur ilk would have stuck to stone age by blindly believing in ur fate as laws of nature but thankfully nature provides for intellectual and emotional evolution besides genetic evolution. U guys still need some intellectual evolution to be humane in ur perspective.
Damn, the ending at 7:30 was horrific. The eerie calm, the gentle rain, the baby struggling to keep its head above the water when finally it slips beneath the dark surface for the last time and immediately disappears from view, never to be seen again.

Mother Giraffes are the worst protectors. They stay too close to the calf when trying to intimidate the predators with bluff kicks and usually end up disabling the calf themselves, which in turn makes the calf easy prey for the predators.

@@TheTinnin there was evidence of exactly what he/she said in this video, what's with your dickish response to it?
@@TheTinnin you don't need a degree to notice patterns in behavior
Yeah the mother fought so hard and kept protecting the baby which seemed dead at first but then when the baby got back up the mom left it? Like okay?
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.

was crying at the end. I just wanted so much for the courageous newborn giraffe to make it. So heartbreaking.....
That's dedication on the filming of that shot. 👏 Through the storm and 7 hrs later still there with a camera getting the final minutes.

That is cruelty in my eyes. They could have used their time to save the poor baby and reuinite with its mother so at least it would not die alone.
@@lisapearlman this is nature in its finest form. humans should do their best not to intervene.
@@lisapearlman Sono d'accordo con lei. A volte una mano per dare un'aiuto non danneggiare la situazione, al contrario aiuterà a salvare ciò che rimasta a joh dalla natura. Annegato inutilmente.
@@ryant5447 Gli umani stanno facendo un danno incredibilmente nocivo e penso che in questa situazione si poteva aiutare alla natura di salvare un cucciolo annegato inutilmente.
Just few hours being born without a taste of milk, food or opportunity, chased and attacked to bleed by a predator, later abandoned by its mother and about half a day worth of experiencing everything, the baby still wanted to feel life by constantly trying it's best to keep head high and breathe.
This is truly inspiring🙏🙏
Ironic...When it's a newborn animal we root for its survival. When it's a human baby, we defer to the mother and doctor to decide whether the baby gets to live or die. Certainly humankind is the most ferocious animal on the planet.
Don't find it inspiring. It's just very sad esp. stupid human beings not trying to save it
It was pathetic the stupid thing drowned itself in a big mud puddle
Cows kind shows the same behaviour in the milk industry when their calf is taking away from them after birth. Stress and grief. its a bit concerning thinking about it. I think it makes the thought difficult of drinking the milk myself
@@muibe123what about saving the lion from dying of hunger??
Wow this was intense, poor calf!! Greetings from Chicago USA.. Latest sightings and rob the ranger are my favorites, you bring a part of the world to my eyes that is so amazing and under appreciated. I’m saving to go on safari one day, these vids make me feel like I have to... Hope everyone has a blessed and safe holiday!
Greetings, Chi-town.
Whats ya ig?
Oh poor baby 😢😢😢💔
Rest in peace little baby angel
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 .
😭why am I literally crying watching this..that baby didn't even have a chance to live!
Hi
0:50 what a beautiful shot!
dating the giraffe is so brave and tenacious it responded to the consciousness from the lioness
I’ve watched a lot of nature videos in my life time and it’s always interesting to see a predator take down a prey, but that was heartbreaking to watch. Rest now little one. 😔
Honestly 😭 the poor little love 🥺
I an heartbroken to see the baby giraffe being badly injured. 😢
@@MsLilac88 😥😥😥😭😭
CANCER WILL BE UR PREDATOR when you will fight it nights ans days
if you consider that its interesting to watch animals suffring
The most distressing demonstration of nature I've ever seen, it tore me up.
Why?
This is like watching Obiden and the lying ass Demokrauts destroying America.
@@erikdeeNOSPELLSNO lol
The world is a cruel place but it's all about survival of the fittest. As heart breaking as it is to see, that baby is in less pain, dead
@@Sam123QU29 It is a shame that the camera men aren't allowed to intercede- but it wouldn't be Wilderness then, would it? Watch "16 Moments Prey Take Down Predators With Their Horns"
Damn man, I'm not a sensitive type man, but holy shit!! That was one of the saddest things I've ever seen
Baby was tough as nails
@@socallawrence absolutely
Yes this was very hard to watch .
You’re sensitive then 🤷♂️
@@JohnWickkkk nah
Why was the mother useless towards the end when her baby showed it wanted to live. The mother seriously gave up whilst the baby kept going even after the mother just abandoned it. That’s even more sad to me being abandoned like that by your own Kin.
Because I think in the wild when babies are hurt or have problems they can’t keep up with the mother no more and the mother abdomens them it’s honestly no point if the animal is in bad condition .
Damn that guy fought till the end. I guess drowning is better than getting eaten
What a heart-wrenching video! That little giraffe had such a strong will to live. I wonder why the mother abandoned it towards the end ? Did she sense that it wasn't going to survive?
Hard to say, maybe she didn't give a shit. Elephants do a much better job to protect their kids, they are close to adults. Here multiple times she just left that calf and did barely anything.
It looked dead already before the lion got it. I couldn't see the ribs going up and down breathing
The mother tried, but the baby didn't move for so long that she finally gave up.
Sorry but I would have pulled out my gun and killed the lion
@@richardlawson6787 you wouldn't have had a gun 😂😂😂😂
This was an epic tale! Both the mother and the lioness were so persistant. I was STUNNED when the baby got up and started walking again. So sad to see it passing out in the water....and the lion was still waiting...
The lion is still waiting,be sober for the reason your adversary the devil walks about as a roaring lion,seeking who he may devour.
Lioness, male lions never do any hunting they have heavey balls which make them lazy
@@clintwalker6389 lol he , you mean she
@@amandaclaireon4065 yes devil is a woman
thankyou whoever record this
The baby lost his life because he couldn't swim and these video taking people just left him like that .. what a shame
As opposed to what? His mother was gone.
@@DEAD-FROM-NY So, if his mother leaves him away, should we left him die ? If someone saves him, may be he can live his life by own like any abandoned animals right
The baby giraffe went out his way. Props to it
What on earth does props mean…..!!
"Props" same as "Respect"

Why the hell didn't u people run the dam cat off?

7:30 Drowned but not eaten…. Baby giraffe was fighter

What a fighter, poor thing. Broke my heart when she got scared of thunder.

It`s sad to see the lack of intelligence from the other mature giraffe`s to not group up and save the baby. There was hardly any help from the others......so sad.
how bout that which doesn't lack intelligence that actually calculates and takes innocent human life, can there be no place other than a hellfire?
Nature can be cruel at times to human eyes

I wish i never saw this.. One of the most heartbreaking things I've ever witnessed.. 💔
Thank you, I'm not going to watch it, I looked to see people's reaction first.
That makes 2 of us, not gonna watch it, comments first🥺
Not hard to watch, just a little sad, that the calf makes it trough but still dies.
@@rosemariehunter1643 not hard to watch the cycle of life happen. Don't the lions deserve to eat and feed their cubs?
That makes 3 of us. Thank you for commenting! but i’m really sad for the baby giraffe tho😔
Прочитала комментарии и не смогла смотреть ролик,слёзы на глаза навернулись
Just shows how resilient these animals have to be. Even though it ultimately drowned, likely due to sheer exhaustion and blood loss, it still survived the initial attack and got away into the water. I just hope something was able to eat the calf once it did die.
well the photographers probably had sex with it afterwards if that makes you feel better
It only drowned because the crocodile took it.
its going to be part of the ponds eco-system now so its gone to good use i guess
@@popeyedoyle6360 yep 👍
Everything gets eaten eventually. That's what decomposition is for the most part. Being eaten by insects, bacteria, and other animals.
Waouh grandiose ce spectacle de souffrance !! d'une pauvre maman impuissante , assistant à l'agonie et la mort de son bébé massacré devant ces yeux sans aucune intervention malgré le bon nombre de personnes autour à se réjouir 👏👏, si ce n'est de filmer du début de la traque jusqu'à la fin sans même tenter d'intervenir malgré tout le courage dont ce bébé a fait preuve pour tenter de survivre il aurait mérité un peu d'aide.. .Honte à eux 🤮🤮 la race humaine ou "inhumaine" qui est dotée de lâcheté de perversité de cruauté ect... et demunis de toute sensibilité, d'empathie de compassion ect.. ce petit être à été une leçon de courage . tous ces lâches qui sont parents passerons a leurs tour par l'indifférence humaine en temps voulu 😄la justice divine s'en chargera 🙏🙏.

What an amazing battle!! Great footage!!
the sense of cooperation and rescue of the dozen adult giraffes really touched my heart
Its heart breaking that All these People only watching and filming but no body tried to save that poor calf.
It's nature
Today people Can save baby and tomorrow ? Its nature chain.
Yea and if you did then some stupid person would say “you can’t upset the balance of nature”.Really?Have already saved one girl from a rapist,another from being abused and shot a dog that was killing my cat.Is nature upset because you run off a mountain lion attacking a woman?

And humans give up for insignificant reasons, and look at this baby giraffe, fought with all the heart. R.I.P.
That’s called wildlife buddy.. if you don’t like it then don’t watch safari videos 🤧☠️
@@Shinuchiha_99 😃 what?!!!!! 🤦🏽♂️
That giraffe doesn’t have 2 mortgages and alimony to deal with. Obviously it’s fighting to live 🙄
@@aryndarell6587 if the giraffe had those it would gladly throw itself to the lions instead of deal with the sht we deal with imagine having to live with that predator response all the time even when there is no danger thats humans
What are those cold blooded human doing? Just stand by and taking pictures? Can someone help the baby giraffe? Unbelievable! You are all there to just taking pictures and watch a baby suffer to death? This is very sad. Human are the worst!
Yes u got that right humans are the worst , of the species ..
@@margaretcurrie4093 you both need to learn a little bit about going on safari. The people that get out would then become prey themselves. Is THAT what you want?

I don't know why those people who are there had nothing to do with rescuing the baby giraffe.
I guess you would have stopped the George Floyd murder if only you were there. Different jungle, different predator/prey, but same thing.

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.

Nobody's gonna mention how the mother accidentally kicked the baby into the ditch.

Maybe to wake it up
@@tapptom 1:56 I am talking about this. It was trying to scare the lion.
@@DeesonJame yes I saw that also
Possibly she was pushing the baby away and did not see that cliff there that the baby was standing next too or she did this to push the baby down the cliff away from the lion…
Dont outrun the lion, outrun the baby
So in the end no one got the baby giraffe Not the mother or Lion or hyena, It commit suicide by Drowning itself. Maybe the Crocodiles got it ??
Seeing Giraffes and how they move is like something straight out of the dinosaur era..
That was so heartbreaking to watch! I felt bad for the baby giraffe, but that's how it works. That's life :(
And death...

Bro thats what they do, it's a circle of life. People can't help at all whatsoever. They can't interfere with wildlife okay? It is what it is.

In my country there is a saying 'escaping from a Tiger to meet a crocodile'. This is exactly just that.
When the baby giraffe sank, i have the Terminator 2 music playing in my head.
I bet there is someone somewhere in the comments like "Why did they just film and not help the Giraffe?"
wow, that might be the best safari camera work i've ever seen, amateur or pro. what a tragic ending, but probably happens every day out there. thank you for sharing. the feels😕
