So what animals do you guys think has the potential to knock down a giraffe 😉? The kudu knocking down one is impressive although to be honest, this giraffe is running and not fighting back.

From the look of it, the giraffe is not full grown.

I have watched how lions prey upon giraffes. The lions will herd the giraffe into an area where he has poor footing; such as a very rocky place or some extremely uneven ground. Here, the giraffe must be careful of keeping his balance while trying to fight-off the lions. The lion will attack from the rear - ambush fashion. On level ground, face-to-face with the giraffe, I believe that a big brown bear would stand a better chance against a giraffe that either a lion or a tiger. Just how often the bear might defeat a giraffe is anybody's guess. It is true that a good solid kick from the huge giraffe could possibly kill the bear; but he can withstand a greater impact from a hoof than could any big cat. In reality - a face-to-face confrontation on level ground - against a lion, tiger, or a big brown bear; I would wager on the giraffe. *Note: This topic is meaningless considering that were bears and giraffes to somehow find themselves living within the same environment, bears would not be hunting giraffes.

The atlas bear might have probably encountered a girrafe.

Is it possible for a 600+ pound brown bear to kill a giraffe? Lets revisit this thread from the beginning. IMO 600+ is too vague. A 650lb Brown Bear against an adult bull Giraffe would IMO be a bit of a mismatch to the Giraffe's credit. I think it would take a much bigger Bear to be able to wrap up the deadly back end of a Giraffe, more the likes of a 1000 + pound Brown Bear. A large Brown Bear would stand a better chance of getting the Big Giraffe off its feet. The Bear has to control those back legs or else. We could look also look at the difficulty that a Brown Bear would have in dealing with a Bull Moose, that's a big animal and lot to handle as well. I firmly believe it would also take a large Brown Bear to handle a Bull Moose.

I firmly believe it would also take a large Brown Bear to handle a Bull Moose. See topic: Who Can Defeat a 1,000 Pound Male Brown Bear? A grizzly will sometimes kill a bull moose. I haven't researched enough to know if that is with or without antlers. I strongly believe that bull moose are killed from ambush. Main reason being, a moose is a faster runner than a bear. I agree that, if a brown bear could possibly take down a giraffe, he would have to be a 1,000+ pound bear. *See topic: Who Can Defeat a 1,000 Pound Male Brown Bear?

Yes, the antlers on a bull moose brings a whole different angle into it because those are likely as deadly as the Giraffes hind leg kick. Adult Moose and Giraffes are very strong. I've seen a video of an Adult Giraffe literally dragging a 3-4 Lionesses, I mean just walking on like no big thing. One on it's back and one on each hind leg with another Lioness helping out the others when she can.

A giraffe greatly outweighs these lionesses combine weights. Size does matter in the animal kingdom.

Giraffe vs Kodiak Bear: ( it's basically, "Bear vs Legs" ).

The girrafe will be most vulnerable when lying down and asleep.

The girrafe will be most vulnerable when lying down and asleep. archive.nerdist.com/giraffes-barely-sleep-and-when-they-do-its-on-their-butts/ By the time you kick the bucket, chances are you’ll have spent 20-26 years asleep. Our human brains need a lot of time to reboot, but some animals manage to go about their days with far less rest time. Take the giraffe: until the mid ’50s, researchers believed that giraffes didn’t sleep at all. We now know this isn’t true, but the tall mammals are one of the most sleepless animals on Earth. A quick google will tell you that giraffes only sleep 30 minutes per day, but this isn’t quite accurate. On average the long-necked mammals fit about 4 hours of sleep time into a 24 hour period (and slightly less in the wild). While that stat might not sound as impressive, what it means is that a giraffe will spend just 4 years asleep in its entire lifetime. Because of this, few people have actually encountered a slumbering long-neck in the wild. During an in-depth sleep study conducted over 152 nights, researchers from the University of Zürich found that when giraffes do sleep, they’re either standing, or lying down, faces nestled into their own butts. (No judgment here, if our necks were long enough, we’d be getting comfy on our trunk-junk as well.) That position is used most by babies, and it’s darn adorable.
