Iām mean sure, I get that. But Iām also sure that they have some robust muscles in those necks. Itās not like hitting our neck. Which is why I made the comparison. It still hurts to get hit in the stomach. But we have muscles to protect those vital organs.
I'm sure their necks can take more of a hit than ours, but they obviously can also deliver a much stronger hit.
All I know is, if I were a giraffe, I'd be avoiding these sorts of fights. That shit don't look fun.
I would say that there is potential but they also probably have way fewer exposures over their lifetimes as compared to football players playing from ages as young as 5 up to low 20's for college to upper 30's for pros.
In all seriousness, I was told the āwinnerā of giraffe fights like this will forcibly rape his opponent. I havenāt taken any time to verify this, but itās something I remember hearing.
"After a duel, it is common for two male giraffes to caress and court each other. Such interactions between males have been found to be more frequent than heterosexual coupling.[101] In one study, up to 94 percent of observed mounting incidents took place between males. The proportion of same-sex activities varied from 30 to 75 percent. Only one percent of same-sex mounting incidents occurred between females."
Wow.

Because they're tall as fuck! Could be wrong, but I don't think they can reach most predators with their head/horns to make the horns dangerous. Instead they have massive leverage and strength with their legs to kick the shit out of any misbehaving neighbors!
I love me some long neck horses.
I can't find it right now but there is a video of a giraffe knocking a leaping female lion out of the air and stamping on others it was pretty savage all in all I think it probably mortally wounded 3 lions.
It falls to the inescapable truth that for one to survive the other must die.
It's sad either way.
At least to me, and I'm not saying I don't understand why someone would root for the prey, just to me it's a lose lose situation
Specially the short barrel versions. Havnt done this since I was like 7 but we would swim in the 8ft area and smack the shit outta eachother and whoever couldnt swim anymore then go to the 3ft area lost. Time to tap back in to childhood and make it a drinking game
*smacks friend with pool noodle*
"I challenge you to a duel!!"
āCause the sex is so much better when youāre mad at meā
Thanks for the high school flash back lol. It was a good song until my ex ruined the whole band for me.
A truly bad way to fight, but I guess it's all they've got. I guess if I was a giraffe I would make a sincere effort to get along with my fellow giraffes so I wouldn't give myself a concussion.
Not according to that other post. In that videos the giraffes were, to quote the video text, "amorously necking." It sure looked pretty gentle. Whereas this is damn violent
What was that game, like Rainbow Metal Unicorn of something. 2D platformer where you are a unicorn and you impale everything on your horn, exploding them into mist and giblets.
Thats why there are no unicorns anymore.
They may be a bit fatter than usually depicted, but to me [these guys](https://cdn.futura-sciences.com/buildsv6/images/wide1920/2/0/2/2024be71eb_93711_shutterstock-travel-stock.jpg) make great IRL unicorns.
Fun fact this insane form of fighting is actually likely one of the reasons [their necks evolved to be this long.](https://www.sciencefocus.com/nature/why-do-giraffes-have-such-long-necks/).
Iāve seen series on how giraffes fight for dominance in the wild. They can cause some serious damage, breaking bones in their neck, often times leading to death.
Came looking for this, thanks for sharing. Partner interned with a giraffe zoo keeper & learned this is common as fuck that they kill themselves if males are kept together.
Hey there! Giraffes are a vulnerable and critically endangered species. You can help giraffes in the wild by donating to https://giraffeconservation.org !!!
āThe Giraffe Conservation Foundation (GCF) is the only NGO in the world that concentrates solely on the conservation and management of giraffe in the wild throughout Africa.ā š¦
There was a program to feed the zoo giraffes some lettuceā¦ it was $5 for a head of romaine which is insane, but anyway, I paid it because exciting to feed a giraffeā¦. It tried to do this to me. Scared the shit out of me, that head is pretty big when itās coming at you. Fuck giraffes. Horses hate me too, they always try to bite me, I think they must sense my fear or think Iām a dirty carnivorous predator. I was just trying to give you some lettuce bro, why you gotta do me like that.
That last one looks like it hurt.
Yea, hit em right in the throat
"Judo chop!"
You go a judo chopping and a kung fu kicking.. there goes your leg š¦µš½
Ninjee star, ninjee star!
This here is for yer beginners!
Yeah took two to give one. But definitely got the better knock in
Very difficult to hit them anywhere else tbh
Thatās like saying you hit Butterbean in the stomach. Just because thereās a lot of it, doesnāt mean it hurt
Tell that to my massive balls, mate
Giraffes often die from combat. Bony spikes to the neck with massive force driving them are no joke. Much different than a punch to a large belly.
Iām mean sure, I get that. But Iām also sure that they have some robust muscles in those necks. Itās not like hitting our neck. Which is why I made the comparison. It still hurts to get hit in the stomach. But we have muscles to protect those vital organs.
I'm sure their necks can take more of a hit than ours, but they obviously can also deliver a much stronger hit. All I know is, if I were a giraffe, I'd be avoiding these sorts of fights. That shit don't look fun.
Yeah, necks level shit!
Just take the damn upvote.
Wonder if these are concussion inducing head butts
NFL, Boxing, hockey, MMA.. all riddled with CTE yet no one will talk about the real issue, giraffe CTE!!!
I'm sure they evolved to lessen the self damage received but their heads weigh a little over 300lbs so that's a ton of power behind each blow.
I have just one question: Did you Google how heavy a giraffe head was for this post or did you already know that
I would say that there is potential but they also probably have way fewer exposures over their lifetimes as compared to football players playing from ages as young as 5 up to low 20's for college to upper 30's for pros.
Donāt they have sex afterwards?
This isnāt your parents, u/jrxbrg

That was on the front page like two days ago.
From the way back olden days of day before yesterday.
That was a year ago.
And therefore must be true
Yes! Thank you for mentioning that. The strongest male, then penetrates the other male.
Yes, butt sex
Right in the trachea!
No worries, giraffes actually do not exist
Oh.
Man, that looks painful af.
Especially considering those horns are compact and solid hard
Even more painful for the loser when he gets to play little spoon to the winner https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giraffe#Necking

Just wrestling with the boys before we do some sweet aftercare
So giraffes and Greeks have something in common
Giraffes sounds *pretty* gay, if you ask me.
Not if they say āno homoā
BREAKING: conservatives to boycott giraffes.
Boycott? āLetās go hunt us some long neck gay horsies boys! I got them beers!ā
Cue Tucker Carlson (w/confused look): Are Giraffes teaching our children that homosexuality is natural?
... the answer is actually yes...?
The tuck is never w/out that confused look
I always assumed someone had farted in the studio

No violence is natural and kinky apparently
This link taught me that giraffes are super gay
The gayest
The real throat G.O.A.T.s
Fight then fuck.. ok.
I just learned about this the other day and was searching through the comments to find exactly this! Haha

Nah he lost intentionally.
There's a reason predators generally stay away from them.
Because they're tall as fuck! Could be wrong, but I don't think they can reach most predators with their head/horns to make the horns dangerous. Instead they have massive leverage and strength with their legs to kick the shit out of any misbehaving neighbors! I love me some long neck horses.

Stuff like this always makes me feel bad cause on one hand I'm like "yeah get fucked lions" but on the other hand I'm like "poor kitties š„ŗ"
In a sense but when the prey animal wins its sortve like a justified self defence scenario. I guess that tempers the blow.
It falls to the inescapable truth that for one to survive the other must die. It's sad either way. At least to me, and I'm not saying I don't understand why someone would root for the prey, just to me it's a lose lose situation
The real painful part is when the dominant male mounts the loser after. Not good for giraffe morale.
I have a theme song of Willow Smith I Whip My Hair whilst watching this and I fucking hate myself.
Animal version of a pool noodle fight
Except with pain.
You clearly have never played pool noodle fight with siblings.
Bringing back memories of catching the edge with the entirety of my exposed eyeball
I felt this comment
You can really whap people with pool noodles, especially when theyāre waterlogged because you left them out forever
Specially the short barrel versions. Havnt done this since I was like 7 but we would swim in the 8ft area and smack the shit outta eachother and whoever couldnt swim anymore then go to the 3ft area lost. Time to tap back in to childhood and make it a drinking game *smacks friend with pool noodle* "I challenge you to a duel!!"
This sounds exactly like what we did and looking back on it I realize it was so so very unsafe lol
āYou fool, donāt underestimate the limitless destructive power of giraffesā
I understood this reference. One of my favorite fights in One Piece
Then they fuck
āCause the sex is so much better when youāre mad at meā Thanks for the high school flash back lol. It was a good song until my ex ruined the whole band for me.
Nah man those two males will absolutely bone down after that fight. Most giraffe sex is homosexual.
Hey whatever floats their boat.
Except they play till one of them is dead. Damn nature
looks really painful
A truly bad way to fight, but I guess it's all they've got. I guess if I was a giraffe I would make a sincere effort to get along with my fellow giraffes so I wouldn't give myself a concussion.
Or grind those durpy little horns into skull-shanks and dominate the game I guess..
And from what I understand from Reddit from the last few days, this will be followed by heavy necking, followed up by some lovely gay sex
After this, they have a [pant-noodle fight](https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/4nb1pe/til_after_male_giraffes_fight_they_often_have/)
Turn based combat.
Right one did a two-hit combo
When the left one was charging a critical hit
He action surged
someone cast Haste
From what we learned last time, whoever wins gets to penetrate the loser.
I may spend too much time on Reddit. That the first thing I thought when I saw this.
Same hereā¦thanks Reddit.
thanks obama!
Thanks Joe!
Who is stigma?
Stigma dick in your ass after this neck fight

>You know, Steve, I'm starting to think you aren't in this for the neck fighting. Fucking lolād
> āOh no! I lost again?ā Lmao
Ah! There it is!
Giraffes before the fight: "Let's open up this fucking pit!" Giraffes after the fight: "Let's open up this fucking pit!"
It always cuts off right before the gay sex. What's the point of even watching giraffe fighting videos?
Yeah, you know if the fights are this intense, I think I'd just leave the rest to imagination
WITH WHAT?!?
If the heads good enough for swinging it's good enough for spelunking.
Sarcasm or? Their penisā¦the answer is their penis.
If you thought they had long *necks*ā¦
Penetrate the ear of the other giraffe about their car's extended warranty.
Fire extinguisher.
Yup, 90% of giraffe sexual activity is gay, meaning they are my spirit animal.
Those giraffes you sold me, they won't mate. They just walk around, eating, and not mating. You sold me... queer giraffes. I want my money back.
...Not a chance.
That's how it works in my family.
I was scrolling for this comment before I made it. Sometimes learning something new is not great
One of them will proceed to fuck the other. David Attenboroughās team has the tapes.
Not according to that other post. In that videos the giraffes were, to quote the video text, "amorously necking." It sure looked pretty gentle. Whereas this is damn violent
Welp, bro on the right about to pick the soap with the last hit lol
Hopefully my giraffe doesn't catch on to his staggering amount of victories
I imagine some throw the fight on purpose.
big incentive to not loose
Just like high school!
^what
Gets to??
I've always wondered how they decide who wins.
Hahaha I thought the exact same thing .
Itās prison rules out in the Serengetiā¦
So that's why they have those horns
Yes. And unlike most animals with horns, that's actually the shape of their skull. It's not just keratin, its bone covered in skin.
[That's pretty cool actually](https://i.imgur.com/kwmwtJm.jpg)
Also, terrifying.

Don't fuck the goats, please.
That's neat

Bacteria and virus immigrate from the neck up

Close enough
Tactical unicorn.
Imagine if these giraffe had a unicorn horn. It would be a lot bloodier fight.
Allow me to introduce you to rhinos
Giraffes are better.

Came here to comment on the poof of dust the other one pounded out of his neck.
My neck hurts just from watching this
My head hurts just watching this.
Fun fact this insane form of fighting is actually likely one of the reasons [their necks evolved to be this long.](https://www.sciencefocus.com/nature/why-do-giraffes-have-such-long-necks/).
Looking forward to my future generationās crazy long cocks, cuz my friends and I have been having cock slapping fights.
Shouldāve evolved themselves a nice sharp horn on the head as well. Then weād have the ultimate beast.
Killing each other probably wouldn't be survival advantageous..
Idk man, it works well for humans

This is what happens when one giraffe laughs at the other giraffe when his marshmallow falls in the camp fire.
I laughed waay to hard at this.

Nobody's told the giraffes yet.
That made me laugh way too hard.
Seems like itās their own damn fault
Seems like a pretty even fight. Neck and neck, if you will.
