Motivation is key, man. I can't handicap the fight without knowing the prize.

Someone today asked me if I could fight one of the instructors off me. I had to split it down -- if he wanted to pin me down and kick my ass, he'd win. But if he wanted to pin me down and rape me while I was conscious, I think he'd fail. Motivation.

Except, apparently they do use their neck and head like a club and can club predators. And when they kick they can kill hyenas.

But I know who wins in a monkey jackal smackdown!

Heard beasts are huge and have strong legs ending in hooves, Ima go giraffe. But they won't fight because they are pretty and I like them so they must be gentle creatures.

Or, really, big hooves with big muscles controlling them, so giraffe.

Now I need to go Google if giraffe feet are called hooves or something else.

The woman at the wild animal park when we did the overnight taught us the funniest prey/predator rhyme.

Eyes on side: likes to hide.
Eyes on front: likes to hunt.

Cass, I think hooves. Giraffe mom's will fight to protect their babies, even newly newly newly born.

They also communicate via infrasonic noises. They aren't actually mute.

Also, Place in Africa called Giraffe Manor . I think you all should take up a paypal collection so Lori and I can go.

Eyes on side: likes to hide.
Eyes on front: likes to hunt.

And there I was, bothering to distinguish between range of vision and stereo vision.

Problem with a hyena/giraffe fight is ... what can the hyena get to? How easy is it to hamstring a giraffe? Can a hyena jump high enough to get anything vital without bringing the giraffe down to himself?

But, really, what do they both want?

Hyena wants to eat baby giraffe before it stands and Giraffe wants to protect baby.

But, really, what do they both want?

Love.
