The fighting spirit of this baby is beyond words. Being born into this harsh world, having never even experienced the milk of her mother, quenching her thirst with some water, or having any food, this courageous animal gets up with it’s legs shaking after a brutal attack by a lion, and continued to fight on for over 7 hours. What an absolute warrior.The absolute tenacity of this baby giraffe is nothing but amazing. It survived a harsh lioness attack, afterwards manages to walk a long time with severe wounds and escape, only to survive for 7 more hours while in relatively deep water and holding on to all high strength AS A NEWBORN. Incredible.
Just few hours being born without a taste of milk, food or opportunity, chased and attacked to bleed by a predator, later abandoned by its mother and about half a day worth of experiencing everything, the baby still wanted to feel life by constantly trying it’s best to keep head high and breathe. This is truly inspiringJust shows how resilient these animals have to be. Even though it ultimately drowned, likely due to sheer exhaustion and blood loss, it still survived the initial attack and got away into the water. I just hope something was able to eat the calf once it did die.
That was a gut wrenching, master-clip. Both incredible filming, and painful to watch, and so compelling. Then the baby giraffe, rising to it’s feet, struggles along, and gets to the water. I wasn’t sure how it would end. Was it weak and giving in. Or was it finding comfort in the water, that perhaps the flowing water was soothing it’s injuries, and it would gain strength to continue on. Then, gracefully it goes under one more time…
