Giraffe vs. lion, which is better

Giraffe and lion fight, who is more powerful?

Who says giraffes aren't scared anymore?

If it is easy to find, for lions, giraffes are similar to antelopes. Because antelopes move in groups, it is easy for lions to spot a large herd of antelopes. And the giraffe also has its own advantages, the giraffe has high legs, and from this alone, the lion will not attack easily.

Because the lion is not large, and the middle-aged giraffe is very powerful if it is forced to kick the lion. Basically, kicking into a serious injury is not a problem.

The giraffe is strong, three stories high, and how do the lions attack it?

After a simulated return, the giraffe's full force back kick can reach more than 64 pounds, and this force can cripple a lion or even kick it to death.

Giraffes are large herbivorous animals native to Africa, about 5 meters tall, generally weighing more than 1 kilogram, and can reach about 2 kilograms in general. This giraffe is characterized by a long neck, which makes it look ridiculous and clumsy.

Although the giraffe is a herbivore, the wild animals of the steppe rarely dare to mess with it. Having a tall body is a deterrent in itself. For large-volume, heavy-tonnage animals, the tonnage itself is lethal.

We do see lions preying on giraffes and bison**, but giraffes are not the main prey in the lion's diet. In the savannahs of Africa, the main prey of lions is the antelope, wildebeest, zebra, etc., which are less resistant. When faced with the ferocious African bison, lions are often beaten or even killed.

There is no animal as tall as a giraffe within the range of tigers, but that doesn't mean that tigers don't have the ability to hunt large prey. In fact, the Bengal tiger that lives in South Asia preys on Asian bison, which can weigh up to a tonne, and is the fourth largest terrestrial vertebrate on the planet after elephants, rhinos and hippos, surpassing giraffes and African bison in strength and weight. Scientists have observed a large number of examples of Bengal tigers killing adult bison, and Bengal tigers hunt Asian bison alone.

Siberian tigers in Siberia and northeastern China are larger than Bengal tigers, but because they do not have large herbivores such as Asian bison, they mainly hunt deer and wild boar. The small size of the prey does not mean that the Siberian tiger is not capable of hunting, and there are records that the Siberian tiger can kill adult brown bears, and Russia has reported that Siberian tigers killed 170 kilograms of brown bears.

The conclusion is that tigers not only hunt large animals, but also have a strong ability to kill, and tigers hunt alone. If you put a tiger on the African savannah, the giraffe is the same prey for the tiger as the African bison! <>

It is indisputable that lions are the strongest predators in the grasslands, and when we usually watch documentaries, we always see lions cooperating to kill African buffaloes that are several times larger than themselves, and the huge and strong African buffaloes can basically only be reduced to food in the face of fierce lions.

I think the reason why lions dare to attack buffalo is because there are always weak and young buffaloes in the buffalo herd, and it is easier to catch them and find their weaknesses, and in their opinion, they have a better chance of success. The giraffe, although it moves slowly, is relatively large, and the long neck is a special 'alien' in the animal kingdom, which is relatively unfamiliar to lions. Therefore, it will choose a buffalo with an ordinary body and relatively easy to catch.

Although the giraffe is docile, its hooves are extremely damaging and can kick lions far away.
