Re: Giraffe - Animal of the Month: April 2014
From what I've heard and read in various documentaries and articles, the reason for the Giraffe's long neck is not for accessing the leaves at the top of trees (although this does help) but for mating displays and for fighting.
Try googling https://www.google.co.za/#q=youtube+giraffes+fighting for many videos of Giraffes fighting - some to the death!
This seemingly calm and gentle creature is anything but!

Hunting cannot be considered a sport as all contestants in a sport should know they are playing the game!
