Angry giraffe? Yeah, it sound rather unusual, but it seems like giraffes can snap once in a while as well and start chasing a bunch of tourists enjoying their safari.
This hard to believe story happened in South Africa last week, and left the tourists badly shaken after they were rushed for about two miles by the 13 feet giraffe seen in the video below.

"During the unusual outburst he kicked out at one of the drivers and broke off a wing mirror. No one was injured in the incident but the tourists were left badly shaken by the experience. An 'hormonal imbalance' is thought to be behind the rare giraffe attack," the user that posted the clip on YouTube explains.

Thank God no one got hurt, but we can't help wonder if the giraffe really suffered from "hormonal imbalance" or was just sick and tired of those nosy tourists.
