 GiraffesThe tallest of animals, giraffes can be found browsing the tree canopy of tropical Africa's wooded grasslands.

However, a giraffe's body is relatively short, marked with large, angular, sandy to chestnut spots closely spaced on a lighter background. Giraffes travel in small herds led by a male and can outrun most enemies, some of which they can kill with a single kick. How tall is a newborn giraffe? More...

I have been seeing giraffe since birth and witnessed them being eaten alive by wild dogs; they never kicked any dog. Zebra yes, they kick with an aim: to kill to survive.
