A healthy, adult giraffe can kill a lion with a single,
hefty kick.
Despite the camouflage spots in their fur, giraffes do not always remain
undetected by predators. But they know to defend themselves and can kick really
hard with their front hooves. They mainly do this if they want to protect their
young, because the adult animals are normally rarely attacked. Anyone who has
the opportunity to look at giraffes from close up can easily distinguish the
females from the males. They are somewhat smaller and have thin horns with a
small tuft of fur on top. Giraffe bulls, in contrast, have thick horns with no
fur on top.
