Now, here's an event that may look like a bit of lovemaking - but, this is two male giraffes and this is no lovemaking scenario. It is, in fact, a deadly event that could leave one of these giraffes lying dead on the ground. It is of course, all in the name of love, but it is a serious affair. Dominant giraffe bulls are constantly being challenged for the right to mate with the female giraffes and therefore, there are these necking affairs where the giraffes swing their long and very muscular necks at one another. They also tilt their heads back as they do so hoping to hit a deadly blow with their horns that aren't really horns but are very hard calceous growths that can penetrate flesh and bone.
These two chaps are in the middle of a vicious fight that luckily did not end in death but in the defeat of the younger giraffe.
Available in a white wood frame. Can be shipped framed or unframed.
