And Kaylee, what the hell's goin' on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

But, really, what do they both want?

Love.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Kat, weren't we talking about Giraffes with you when we were out last time? I loves me those long-necked goofballs!

Victor's mate.

Also, jealous.

... on this issue of giraffes chasing off lions...

Lazy lions do not an argument make.

Speaking of hyenas, encyclopedia britannica sez:

Order Carnivora branched into dog and cat lineages 50 million years ago; hyenas arose from the cat group. Thus, although hyenas look like dogs, they are actually more closely related to cats.

I had no idea.

I LOVE GIRAFFES. So my answer to that is, yes, Robin. Most likely.
