hyenas then?

hyenas and other predators will definitely go after giraffe babies, just not giraffes themselves, since giraffes will kick the everlasting poo poo out of anything that bothers them

hyenas are also gross fuckers, as discussed by wikipedia

quote:

The genitalia of the female closely resembles that of the male; the clitoris is shaped and positioned like a penis, and is capable of erection. The female also possesses no external vagina (vaginal opening), as the labia are fused to form a pseudo-scrotum. The pseudo-penis is traversed to its tip by a central urogenital canal, through which the female urinates, copulates and gives birth. The pseudo-penis can be distinguished from the males' genitalia by its greater thickness and more rounded glans. In both males and females, the base of the glans is covered with penile spines. The formation of the pseudo-penis appears largely androgen independent, as the pseudo-penis appears in the female fetus before differentiation of the fetal ovary and adrenal gland. After parturition, the pseudo-penis is stretched, and loses many of its original aspects; it becomes a slack-walled and reduced prepuce with an enlarged orifice with split lips.

the tl;dr is that female hyenas have dicks, to gently caress the males have to stick their dick in the female's dick, and when a female gives birth the babies come out of its dick, destroying it in the process

nature owns

True. They call it the miracle, but the first time you see a woman giving birth you realize we are all just disgusting animals.

womb juices. if you look up a video of a baby horse coming out of a horse vagina you'll be able to get a much more HD view of how much womb juice these critters pupate in

Birth looks like a pretty awful process for baby giraffes. Then they spend a few hours falling down trying to walk. Tough day for the kid.

Better than human birth, except maybe the initial garbage chute drop to the ground.

You would think the momma giraffe would like kneel down a bit, but nope. If it can't survive a 5 foot drop, it's not fit to survive.

The brain is like the least important part of the giraffe and you aren't going to hurt that neck.

It would explain why giraffes are so dumb. Their necks probably aren't full of blood yet, so it's like a floppy dong. It would cushion the fall, if anything. I'm literally guessing here though.

their hearts are fuckin' huge for that reason, and two feet long and the walls are three inches thick in some spots

Well, they're letting the internet name the baby.

...the part of the internet with money, anyway. $1 per entry/vote, minimum of five.

So troll names have to be subtle for a chance at success. I'm scouring Behind The Name for names that could potentially mean stupid, in case anyone has spare money but no ideas.

E: I like Shouta: From Japanese 翔 (shou) meaning "soar, glide" and 太 (ta) meaning "thick, big". It's one way to describe his birth - yeah, he soared very directly to the ground from six feet up.
