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.
Hyena wants to eat baby giraffe before it stands and Giraffe wants to protect baby.
Giraffe wins.
Love.
Giraffe
totally
wins. They're both awkward, but hyenas are only loved by their kind and the hardcore.
Giraffes are loved by many including me and Cass. So they win.
We just watched a giraffe scare off a lion.
Also, if giraffes fall and sit a certain way, they can't get back up and are screwed.
Victor the giraffe... what a sad story.
Hyenas want meat. Giraffe want leaves.
Poor giraffe, he wanted the wrong thing.
