Photos reveal the distressing moment a mother giraffe attempts to protect its one-day-old calf from a lioness

New images, captured by Indian photographer Srikanth Santhinathan, depict the dramatic scene of a mother giraffe's futile attempt to safeguard its one-day-old calf from a lioness in Kenya's Maasai Mara National Park.     The photos capture the moment when the mother and baby giraffe were pursued, resulting in the adult lion seizing the calf and brutally breaking its neck to consume it, despite the mother's desperate yet unsuccessful efforts to repel the predator by kicking out at it.   A giraffe's long neck enables it to watch out for predators, but newborns are vulnerable, making them easy targets for wild cats.   'One morning, we observed the large giraffe and noticed a lioness trailing it from behind.

Dramatic confrontation: Mother giraffe’s futile attempt to protect one-day-old calf from a lioness (photos)

New images captured by Indian photographer, Srikanth Santhinathan, depict the intense moment when a mother giraffe fought in vain to protect its one-day-old calf from a lioness in Kenya's Maasai Mara National Park. The sequence of photos captured the moment when a lioness chased down the mother and baby giraffe. The mother fiercely kicked out at the predator, but the lioness managed to pounce on the baby giraffe, cruelly breaking its neck to devour it. While an adult giraffe's neck serves as a lookout for predators, the same protection is not available to the vulnerable babies, making them easy targets for wild cats. "One morning, we observed a large giraffe being stalked by a lioness from behind. Within minutes, the baby giraffe dis...

The statement from WHO included the following points: - Studies show that people who have recovered from the infection have antibodies to the virus, but some individuals have low levels of neutralizing antibodies, suggesting that cellular immunity may also be crucial for recovery. - As of April 24...
