  • 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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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 :(

      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.

    I bet there is someone somewhere in the comments like "Why did they just film and not help the Giraffe?"
