Giraffes necks are ‘most powerful’ 

The video was initially shared back in 2017 on Kruger Sightings’ YouTube channel. The caption of the YouTube post read, "In the who’s who of the boxing world we would like to proudly present our very own Mayweather versus McGregor of the animal kingdom. These two bulls were literally at it “neck and neck” but in the end, as we all know, there can only be one winner”. 

Furthermore, the caption also explained that the male giraffe fight with their necks because it is the most powerful and manoeuvrable weapon they have. It also informed that necking in their world is the most violent and unpleasant experience they're ever likely to engage in. These fights are very serious, with the giraffes repeatedly slamming their necks against one another with the intent to cause real injury. Giraffes also use head butts and the horns on the top of their heads, known as ossicones, in inflict damage to the soft underbelly.
