Giraffe is thristy but not feeling to keen on putting himself in a vulnerable position with all of the Oryx nearby. That one Oryx, he said "If youre gonna do it, then DO IT or MOVE ON!!" Then stomps & hits him with a mini dust cloud. THEN walks off like a tough guy and gets back in line! LOL!
You can lead the giraffe to water but you can't make him drink. I have to say though, that this is making me sad watching this poor giraffe struggling to get down far enough for a drink... I hope he managed to get a drink elsewhere...
Giraffe's are most vulnerable when they are kneeling down. They sleep standing up, they give birth standing up. They can go with out drinking for a really long period of time. Most predators attack while they are drinking.
This video is ripe for a hilarious voice over! The giraffe trying to get a drink but getting pressured & stressed,. The stomping impatient oryx & his friends to the right watching it go down, the birds & the baby oryx that came over to demonstrate how easy it was to drink. 🤣🤣😂
That cement drinking pond is a terrible idea if it is meant for all wild visiting animals. The giraffe could not kneel because the cement would injure its legs and knees and the poor thing found the cement bottom slippery and unstable. Take care of the giraffes too. Make the pool bigger. It's like a kiddie pool.
It's a manmade bore hole so it constantly refills . Giraffe normally spread their front legs apart to get low enough to drink bit a solo male must be wary of predatord
Was this giraffe just too anxious today? From the video, I first thought that giraffes can't drink water on ground level unless they kneel down (which can make them more vulnerable to predators) and this one didn't feel comfortable with doing that due to possible predators around. Then a quick search here on UA-cam showed me that they only need to spread wide their front legs, and can reach the water on ground level.
Perhaps the giraffe got dementia and forgot to drink when lowered her head, because her blood came in the brain too much. Or she has an illness in her stomack?
@@yeliao I felt like it is dementia when seeing the live video. Knowing that it is a biological wonder of the blood circulation to keep the brain working 6meters high up and moments later the head down to the water, I thought the giraffe might have an issue with blood circulation. The giraffe mostly pauses a little while half the way down. But thinking of it the whole video long, I now think the giraffe might have a stomach problem. Perhaps it is a female who just has gone pregnant?
@@ulenrich Actually, living wild animal with dementia isn't common, not because it can't happen, but because any wild animal with dementia, say from old age, can't survive long. Isn't that protuberance near its back legs the male organ? I saw that it did spread wide the front legs and got close to reach the water, but something stopped it. Maybe some muscular pain?
Poor animal does not know that drinking water while sitting or squatting can be much easier, but they don't like sitting even at the cost of no water. Felt really sad and sorry.😌
Oh ok just a suggestion a little bigger and deeper for a giraffe to be able to bend there necks down to get to the water this poor fella tried several times and i dont he was able to get any water to drink !
@@bridgetbrakers I would suggest a higher one - much easier. Either he was shy to spread his legs further, cause they spread much further. He walked away without drinking.
It almost seems like he's not sure of his footing, being that it looks like concrete around the well. Maybe he felt as though he was slipping or might slip. That or it's his first time here and he's just not familiar. Too bad he didn't have any companions with to demonstrate for him.
@@bridgetbrakers if it was bigger, animals would sit in it, thats why they put the stone in the middle... would be cool if it had a fountain in the center shooting water 2 feet up.
Since this is a man made thing, probably mortar, the first time giraffe positioned their legs to go down, they slipped. Thats also why they went away finally. The pond should have a nonslip bottom.
Qué desesperante es ver cómo intenta tomar agua y no puede!!! ☹💔💔💔💔💔 Ya pasaron demasiados minutos... Y ustedes solo grabaron. Tienen que solucionar esto. O dejarán que se muera de sed???👎
Giraffes are the most sought after prey as they can't defend themselves....At least the Zebra and other animals can run and buck them away..The lions eat giraffe all the time...Its gods gift to lions..poor giraffe
Poor guy, that was tough to watch. Everybody was so patient with him. At least he got his feet wet.
So after all that he still went away thirsty! Maybe you need to put in a high level drinking trough for the tall guy.
100%
I'm agreed
This is nature. No you don't need to do this.
@@Knavt Bro how is it “nature”, that’s a concrete pool
Giraffe: "I'm at this watering hole and as usual I forgot my twenty foot straw to drink from it."
Such a beautiful animal. I love giraffe's.
I was just watching this on the feed when I went back. So glad it’s in a consolidated clip. Thank you!
Giraffes haven't invented drinking straws, and the folks of Star Trek haven't invented seat belts.

Same here i almost cried 😢 I felt so bad
Oh wow the poor guy couldn't get a sip. ☹️

Good to see a watering hole that won’t produce a hungry gator.
Thank you for this ,Love to see a giraffe in person
Such a beautiful animal!
Walks to water hole
Pretends to drink for 37 minutes
Refuses to elaborate
Leaves.
chad.
his hesitancy reminds me of when I hesitate after looking down on the ground knowing I have to pick up the phone I just dropped...
Nerve-wracking!
If there is some god who created the giraffe, that god is an ultra-sadist!
poor Giraffe... ;(
this is the same energy as trying to go into the kitchen to get water when a hostile family member is there XD maybe I shouldn't bother...
This video is ripe for a hilarious voice over! The giraffe trying to get a drink but getting pressured & stressed,.

Zfrank would be great or Aussie man even better.
16:21 That fox behind the giraffe that kept wandering in and out of the frame seemed so powerless to hunt any of the prey there.
Looked like a bat eared fox, their diet is mostly insects and rodents, helped by their excellent sense of hearing.
poor chap thinks too much and worries unnecessarily just like humans
"unnecessarily"??? A giraffe is at their most vulnerable while drinking water, is not unnecessary all the contrary.
Evolution: I give you long legs and a long neck for leaves that are really high up.
Everyday life:
He need a fontain
poor guy. He just can't bring himself to go down on his front knees.
and the bartender says: what's with the long face?
How have they survived with an anatomy so unsuited to drinking water?
さっきもキリンが来てました。
11/7の18:00ころです。
giraffe again on 18:00 6 november!
Yes
Very nervous!
Lol. It's watching its back!

Poor giraffe!
How big and tall!
Бедный жираф, он так и не смог попить :(
Они могут пить, широко расставляя передние ноги, если уверены в том, что поблизости отсутствуют хищники.
ГРУСТНО🥲🥲🥲ОН ТАК И НЕ ПОПИЛ ВОДЫ БЕДНЯЖКА.

I first thought that the first part (dementia) was kind of a joke, but then thought again, and realized that it's a serious, real possibility!

@@yeliao I guess we have to watch out for the giraffe further on to get a clue.
Yes, he needs a taller fountain! 😞
How about making a raised water trough?
Giraffe don't drink from a raised trough.
Does anyone know of other live Namibia waterhole cams?
Poor animal does not know that drinking water while sitting or squatting can be much easier, but they don't like sitting even at the cost of no water.

Usually they spread their legs apart to get low enough to drink from ground but ever wary of predators
This is so sad...watching this giraffe trying to get some water.. I ask 'Why did God make you that way?' :-(
Amazing
Yeah okey god, great design...
Let's place them in the desert and make them too tall to drink.
Giraffe magnificente
Is that a man made watering hole?
Yes it is.

I think it could have neck problems with that structure..
❤️🦒❤️
do it man come on DO IT DRIIINK ....NOW FAST ...DRINK all FREEE...how you survive?
Как бы напиться и не упасть - подумал жираф

She tried to drink several times but she couldn't because the water hole was too small for her
He tried thats a bull
@@bridgetbrakers I scrolled up to see who you determined that, he turned around and yup, that's a penis.
Oh! no the poor Giraffe could not have drink from water hole is too small. Need to be fix very soon to a bigger water hole at a higher level
Poor Giraffe

굉장히 경계를 하네. 뭐야 다리가 안벌려지는거야? 그런거야? 그래서 못먹는거야? 이런이런. 어휴 속터져. 그동안 어떻게 살았냐? 나뭇잎 수분으로 겨우 살았나?
끝내 먹지 못하는거야!!!!!
Just sit down.
Так и не попил бедняга
I did not know that giraffe is so stupid and can't drink water
🙏💚🤗
