From an elephant herd shielding a baby elephant to a chimpanzee protecting its mother, many such videos tug at our heartstrings. Now another such video has gone viral on social media. It shows a giraffe protecting its baby from a hyena.

The video, which was shared on Twitter by user @Gabriele_Corno, shows a mama giraffe and her baby standing in a jungle. Right in front of them is a hyena. As the hyena takes a step forward toward them, the giraffe makes a jump at it. In the end, the hyena ends up running away.
