Betweeen 10 months and a year?

That is a teenager and they always will try their strenght.

How stupid can people be.

It serves them right for being bitten.

My question now is what is going to happen to the lion?

'Hormonal' giraffe chases safari vehicle

Post by Sprocky »

2013-06-30 09:02

East London - In a bizarre chase captured on video, a "hormonal" giraffe in the Eastern Cape is seen chasing down his prey - nine tourists on a game-viewing vehicle. The video, posted on YouTube, has since gone viral.

The Sunday Times reported that the animal chased a safari vehicle "like a T-Rex in Jurassic Park".

The incident, captured on video by Cape Town business consultant Henk Roos, was posted to YouTube about a month ago and has since received more than 350 000 hits. Roos said the male giraffe chased the group for a good three to four kliometres.

He declined to name the game park but said rangers had told them at the time the giraffe was "hormonal" and was receiving treatment.

Hmmmm, if this Giraffe was chasing a Landy I could understand it falling in love with the vehicle, but a Toyota or the collective jeep description? No, ah ah, no way, never ;-)


Man was placed in charge and given the duty of caring for all creation, are we doing it?
