Giraffes can chase at 60 km/h. if you have to run away from a giraffe, do not go near their legs. A giraffe kicks in all directions and in a manner of ways. A giraffe’s kick can kill a lion and decapitate it. Giraffes are the tallest animals on land. Male giraffes fight each other by butting their necks and heads. Their primary weapon is their necks, which they swing like a wrecking ball. The fight is called necking and the fights between the giraffes are not fatal. They fight until one admits defeat and gives up.
