Viral Video: There is a reason why humanity chose to add the term ‘wild’ in front of certain animals- which was majorly them being wild and completely unpredictable. However, a TikToker seemingly had something else in mind about the above-said theory, which soon turned into a lesson. A video of the said woman TikToker, Musiiwa Sikhwari, was shared online, where she ended up getting kicked by a giraffe after she attempted to go closer to the wild animal. What happened next was something that many considered ‘lucky’ for her, as she reportedly received no injuries and was only knocked to the ground with some seemingly ‘harmless force’.
The video went viral and pulled all kinds of reactions. Some cracked jokes on the incident while the rest dubbed it a risky encounter that could have gone southwards real quick. The rest pointed out the fact that giraffes are known for their strong kicks, while the rest criticised the woman.
The video was shared on YouTube, by the news handle the ‘New York Post’. The post was titled, “Woman gets a little too close to giraffe in South Africa.” The video was shared two days ago and pulled more than 5K views from people.

“What part of ‘wild animal’ are people not comprehending? The wild part of the animal part. Poor giraffe,” commented a fifth person. “Giraffe knew to be gentle so it won’t get shot,” added a sixth user. “Wow, that giraffe has some serious attitude!
