Giraffes protect their young by guarding and always staying close to their calf. Giraffes do this through taking advantage of their height, which lets them see long distances, making it very easy for them to see danger far away. Giraffes are also able to kick with both back and front legs; their large size and wide hooves can inflict enough force to severely injure and even kill animals such as lions. In addition to their ability to see long distances they are able to be awake for long periods of time, averaging about 20 minutes of sleep per 24 hours, divided between 5 minute naps throughout the day.

Male zebras may kill babies that they did not father in order to increase their own chances of passing on their genes. This behavior is believed to be a way for males to ensure that the offspring they care for are their own, rather than investing resources in raising another male's offspring.
