Getting up from the ground is an arduous task for an adult male giraffe, which can weigh more than 3,000 pounds and stand nearly 18 feet tall. To rise, a giraffe must first straighten its hind legs, then push up with its front legs, shifting its enormous weight in a carefully coordinated sequence. Because getting up takes time and leaves them vulnerable to predators, giraffes generally spend relatively little time lying down. Nikon Z8 with Nikkor 180-600mm lens, 4K at 120fps.
Wow! Absolutely beautiful and amazing. I can feel for that stunning giraffe – just getting out of a chair isn’t as easy as it used to be. Thank you for sharing this.
There are a good number of giraffes in this picture. What do you call such a group, compared, e.g., with a flamboyance of flamingoes?
And what animals are predators for giraffes?

It’s called a “Tower of Giraffes.”
“A Tower of Giraffes” is fitting.
