Giraffe Takes one Last Drink Before Elephant Ends it All

A thirsty giraffe chose the wrong place for a drink when a nearby elephant was in no sharing mood. After taking one last sip, the giraffe’s stomach was stabbed open by the charging elephant.

Africam captured this dramatic incident on one of their remote cameras situated at Great Plains Conservation’s property, Kenya’s ol Donyo Lodge. The footage opens with a picture of tranquillity: a giraffe stands silhouetted against a dramatic sky. No sign hints at the violence about to unfold.
