A giraffe has two gaits: walking and galloping. When walking the right legs move together and the left legs together. When galloping, the giraffe uses its front legs together and its back legs together. The walk has an ambling rhythm with the neck working in synchronicity to keep the body in balance.
She will kick to protect her baby and unlike almost all other animals she uses her front legs to kick and is capable of kicking sideways. The giraffe's kick is powerful enough to crush a lions skull or break its back. The baby giraffe is around six feet tall at birth and will weigh around 150 pounds. She is very protective of her baby and both are healthy so we do not want to put either one under additional stress by trying to mesure or weigh the baby. This is the third baby giraffe we have had here on the ranch. It is this mothers first. The photo in the lower right corner below here is of the baby giraffe, its mother and the father.
