“I’ve seen deer act like this when their young are endangered,” said one Twitter user.
“This is how a mother should protect her child – whether in or out of the womb,” said the second user.
“I learned that giraffes can be very dangerous when threatened – downright aggressive. At the San Diego Wildlife Sanctuary, a giraffe hurt a rhino when it went after her baby. Mothers are highly dependent on their children’s aggression in any situation. That’s mom’s job,” said a third user.
“I love how the baby giraffe fits so neatly between mommy’s legs. So camouflaged too,” another user commented.
“The baby: this is my mom!!!” said one user praising the mama giraffe.
