Normally I watch these videos with emotional indifference since it's nature... but this one hits hard... you just come to this world, full of energy and spirit and the next day you are gone... few decades before your time.

I understand what you mean. I watch these type of videos with the same attitude. This is nature and a lion has to eat. Giraffes, in my opinion, are a majestic animal. To see the mother taken down after trying to defend the calf was just hard to take. It just seems impossible to successfully defend against so many lionesses.

This is common in a mother giraffe's defense. They are not agile enough and cant effectively separate the lion. The 3 meter kick in this direction usually impacts the taller standing bystander baby as a result while lions knowingly duck down.

What the fuck of a comment is this? Apex predators are called predators because they prey on other living creatures, lions have been in the African continent for the past 3.5 million years, giraffes for about 1/3 of that, with basic maths you could tell that they have been sharing land and fighting each other for survival for about 1 million years, you cant wonder why the park manager doesen't separate them just because you find the giraffe cute and defenseless.
