折断脖子长颈鹿顽强生存5年

These are the amazing photographs of a male giraffe who has survived in the wild for the past five years despite suffering a broken neck in a fight with a rival over a female mate.

The animal was spotted in the Serengeti national park by wildlife photographer Mark Drysdale who was on safari.

这组惊人照片的主人翁公长颈鹿——虽然他在和情敌抢妹子的时候被打断了脖子,却还是顽强的在野外生存了5年。

野生动物摄影师马克·德赖斯代尔在塞伦盖蒂国家公园路猎途中发现了这只长颈鹿。

The guide told stunned visitors that the animal suffered the horrific injuries while fighting with another male to impress nearby female giraffes.

The giraffe, pictured, was no longer able to get food from the highest tree branches due to his deformity.

导游告诉吃惊的游客说,这只长颈鹿是为了获得母长颈鹿注意,与另一名公长颈鹿打斗时受的伤。

图中的长颈鹿由于歪了脖子,再也无法吃到最高的树叶。

Normally, animals with such extensive injuries in the wild die due to the absence of medical treatment, or are eaten by predators.

But, this giraffe has thrived despite its wonky, zig-zag neck.

照理说,通常受到这类严重伤害的野生动物得不到医疗救治,难以存活在大自然中,更可能被捕食者吃掉。

但该长颈鹿虽然歪了脖子,依旧存活至今。

The Masai giraffe is the tallest animal in the world and can grow to some 19 feet.

Mr Drysdale, who has been photographing animals professionally for the past eight years said: 'I have never seen anything like it!

'But the other animals treated it as if it were completely normal and the giraffe seemed to be quite happy.'

马赛长颈鹿是世界上最高的动物,身高可达19英尺(约5米8)。

专业拍摄动物8年之久的德赖斯代尔先生说道:“我从没见过这样子的!”

“但是别的动物都很平常的对待他,就好像他完全是个正常的长颈鹿,而且这货看上去活的很开心啊!”
