An angry giraffe smashes a tourist's bicycle as he tries to pose for a photo next to it in Groenkloof Nature Reserve in South Africa.
Louise John Rex, a tourist in Groenkloof Nature Reserve, was cycling through the Groenkloof Nature Reserve together with his friend, Ryk van Niekerk. They came across an 18-foot giraffe eating grass nearby and didn't want to miss such a rare photo opportunity.
Louise first took a picture for his friend in front of the giraffe, but when Louise came close to the creature, it stomped on his £ 2,000 (about 3,128 dollars) mountain bike. Louise had to jump off his bicycle immediately because there was no time for him to drive away.
The angry giraffe began chasing Louise after he tried to rescue his expensive bike.
Finally, the animal completely destroyed Louise's bike, leaving him with a two-mile walk back to his car.
It is also worth mentioning that Louise has also previously been chased by an ostrich in the reserve.
