Schleich: Giraffe Female

A healthy, adult giraffe can kill a lion with a single,hefty kick.

Despite the camouflage spots in their fur, giraffes do not always remainundetected by predators. But they know to defend themselves and can kick reallyhard with their front hooves. They mainly do this if they want to protect theiryoung, because the adult animals are normally rarely attacked. Anyone who hasthe opportunity to look at giraffes from close up can easily distinguish thefemales from the males. They are somewhat smaller and have thin horns with asmall tuft of fur on top. Giraffe bulls, in contrast, have thick horns with nofur on top.
