Documentary clip shows giraffes can brutally fight like the rest of us

Giraffes are one of the mellowest big creatures wandering the planet, but like any animal, once in a while they tussle. This clip from the upcoming documentary "Africa," made for the Discovery Channel, shows a rare and surprisingly brutal giraffe fight over precious feeding and mating territory. The clip is being called, "The most violent giraffe fight ever filmed," which is difficult to dispute. With all the blows to the head and neck, it's amazing these two are still standing even after a few swipes. Yet their faces appear calm as ever.
