Episode Seven: Suckerpunched


Listen Later

Daniel and Laura Core were on a photo safari trip in Zambia to commemorate 40 years of marriage when a nearly 15ft bull giraffe made a swing at the couple. Join us as the A team goes into detail about what was supposed to be a celebration of love that turns into a fight for survival. We talk some general information on giraffes, touch on poaching issues very briefly, and explain why herbivores like them are more inclined to throw down with you than carnivores.
