\u201cA female giraffe gave birth to a baby calf. 30 minutes after being born, the giraffes are already able to walk with only minimal stumbling and, within 10 hours, they are able to run. Unfortunately for this young calf, a hungry lioness and hyena showed interest in the calf right after it was born.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe interested lioness and hyena were trailing the giraffe and her calf, but the hyenas quickly lost interest, leaving only the lioness who was almost herding the herd for over 6kms (4 miles). The newborn calf was knocked over several times by its mother while trying to escape the lioness.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter walking 6kms, the giraffe and her baby, who at this point had not even had a sip of milk in its life yet, reach a dead-end caused by a riverbed. The lioness creeps up to them, thinking this is the finale to an already intense series.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cThe mother tried to protect her calf from the lioness and panicked \u2013 accidentally bumping the new-born down a cliff. The new-born calf was now stuck in the riverbed, the mother went outside the riverbed and tried to coax the young calf out but it was too weak to climb the bank.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe calf lay down and at this point stood no chance against the apex predator who took the opportunity to grab the calf and carry it towards the water.\u201d<\/p>\n
