When it comes to nature, the survival of the fittest is the rule. The lion is known as the king of the jungle because it is one of the fiercest predators out there and when it sets its eyes on its prey, it is difficult for the latter to escape. Now, imagine what a pride of lions can do to a prey?
However, one prey gave a pride of lion a run for their... food.

The video was shared on Twitter by Naveed Trumboo of the Indian Revenue Service and it was reportedly shot by a group of tourists at the Kruger National Park in South Africa.
In the video, one can see the giraffe clearly outnumbered by the lions. The lions attack the giraffe with some climbing on its back but the ¡®prey¡¯ refuses to give up and bow down. Surprisingly, with two lions on its body and one each holding its hind legs the giraffe kept walking like it was no trouble!
The lions struggled to maintain their grip on the giraffe who kept walking ahead, without flinching.
A Lesson on Persistence. There will be many who will try to pull you down. But when the going gets tough, the tough gets going.

Here a giraffe managed to keep standing for 5 long hours after being attacked. Eventually the pride of lions had to give up. pic.twitter.com/ctDjtGQtbR
Reportedly this went on for five hours. Even in that amount of time the lions failed to defeat the giraffe and finally it was the ¡®kings¡¯ of the jungle who had to surrender and give up. To be fair, the giraffe is a really tall animal and not easy to prey on.

The video garnered a lot of comments. One person wrote, ¡®You cannot defeat a person who never gives up¡¯. Here are some other reactions to the video.
Don't get bogged down by difficulties. Stay strong.

Sadly enough half a dozen lions went hungry. Animals don't kill for sport

It's amazing how nature can provide lessons to humans in perseverance and determination apart from other things.
