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.
Giraffe! I don't know if it was named Victor. Or even male.
Kat, weren't we talking about Giraffes with you when we were out last time? I loves me those long-necked goofballs!
... on this issue of giraffes chasing off lions...
Lazy lions do not an argument make.
