2 Limpopo Lodge Giraffes Caught in Fierce Clash in TikTok Video, Netizens Stunned by Neck Fight

  • Giraffes in Limpopo went against each other and did battle for an unknown reason
  • The fight was recorded and posted on TikTok and it happened at the Makalali Safari Lodge
  • The woman who recorded it commented that she was scared and was trying to leave the area when it happened
  • The woman who recorded the video told Briefly News that she watched the fight to the end

Giraffes are known to be peace-loving animals, but they, too, get mad at each other and go at it. Two giraffes were filmed at each other’s necks at a lodge in Limpopo and they did not seem to see eye-to-eye.

Two giraffes fight at Limpopo Lodge in TikTok video

In the dramatic video posted by @janlouisjacobs at the Makalali Safari Lodge in Limpopo, the two long-necked beasts are shown neck-to-neck, clashing heads and not being on the same level, despite being the same height. The one giraffe attacks the other one and the opponent is not backing off. The footage shows one on the other side of the fence striking the other.

They then square up and size each other up before throwing in more head hits and aggressively rubbing each other’s necks. Seeing wild animals fight can be bizarre sometimes, especially if the way they fight is strange. If good fences make good neighbours, these two missed the memo completely.

Woman tells Briefly News what happened

GiediPrime, who recorded the video, told Briefly News what went down.

"The fight continued for quite some time, and eventually, they parted ways, and we could get through to the exit before the reserve gate closed. Prior to this, they would stand a few feet from the centre fenceline and walk back and forth toward each other not doing anything before suddenly attacking one another," she said.
