IFS officer Susanta Nanda posted the video on Twitter. He also shared an explanatory caption to explain about the giraffe’s unusual behaviour. “Giraffes are herbivores & use their long necks to reach the leaves & buds in the tree top. They have evolved that way. But sometimes chew & eat bones to get phosphorus. Nature is amazing,” he wrote.
