A Strange Way to Show Love
Almost immediately thereafter, a new trauma occurs in the baby giraffe’s life. As he struggles to his knees, Mama Giraffe gets busy “persuading” him to stand up. She does this as he wobbles to his feet by giving him a swift kick to prod him to faster action. No sooner does he reach his feet than Mama delivers a booming kick that knocks the baby giraffe back down.

Again, I can well imagine the baby giraffe thinking, “Well, make up your mind, Mom! First you kicked me to make me stand up. Then you kicked me back down!” Interestingly enough, once the baby giraffe is back on the ground, Mama Giraffe again starts kicking and nudging until he stands back up.

That process is repeated several times because Mama Giraffe loves her baby. Or is it instinct? Who can say with certainty? However, this we know for certain: Baby Giraffe is a prime delicacy for carnivorous animals, which are a part of his environment. Mama Giraffe knows that the only chance of survival for her baby is to be able to quickly get up and move out of harm’s way. Yes, kicking the baby up and down seems like a strange way to show love. But for a baby giraffe it is the ultimate expression of love. Caution: That approach definitely will not work in the “people” world, but the principle will. Real love is evidenced when you do what is best for the other person, whether or not they appreciate it at that moment.
