Betting actual money on the behavior of wild animals isn't the best idea ever, but the latest Planet Earth II water cooler moment suggests there's a clear favorite in any possible showdown: giraffes. In a Hitchcock-ian twist not seen on the small screen since How I Met Your Mother's 2014 fumble, the BBC One docuseries shocked viewers with footage of a giraffe literally walking all over a lion:
As David Attenborough calmly commentates the would-be brawl, the giraffe's chances of just waltzing away from a brewing lion attack appear to be quite slim indeed. Then, much to the entire lion community’s collective chagrin, this fucking giraffe throws a few blows before confidently strutting elsewhere.
Suddenly feeling like you're the world's biggest fan of giraffes? Hell yeah! Join the club:
The last time we were glued to some Planet Earth action, those unconscionable bastards commonly known as "snakes" were involved. That clip, which quickly became an internet thing, showed those legless and armless motherfuckers slithering like mad to try to gobble up a brave iguana. Spoiler alert: Fuck snakes.
Who do you think would win between an army of racer snakes and a single giraffe? I got $20 on the giraffe.
