What do you think of the incident in which film director Carvalho was attacked and killed by giraffes while filming in South Africa?

Thank you for your invitation. I'm glad to answer this question. My answer to this question is: first of all, a young and talented director left us because of unexpected troubles, and we are all deeply saddened and sorry!

The 47-year-old director Carlos Carvalho won a series of awards, including the Silver Lion Award in Cannes in 2003 and the Film Photography Award of the African Film Academy. He went to South Africa Wildlife Park to shoot the previously popular series "Wild in My Heart".

The picture above is the last photo of his life. Just a few minutes after this photo was taken, he was attacked by a giraffe and was seriously injured. This accident is very embarrassing. As expected, people never know the accident and who will come first tomorrow! What's more, he has served wildlife all his life, but God didn't see him. ...

This also shows that "rabbits will bite when they are in a hurry" is based on facts: who would have thought that in everyone's daily impression, giraffes with gentle and timid temperament and little lethality should not be underestimated!

Male giraffes have thicker skulls, and they use the energy generated by the swinging of their long necks to "swing" their heads to fight each other. In Africa, giraffes die because of a broken skull. It is recorded that a giraffe in a European zoo once hit a wildebeest, which caused the antelope to be seriously injured and had to be euthanized. Another giraffe tried to hit the keeper, but luckily it didn't hit anyone, but it hit a big hole in the wall. As for the giraffe's powerful legs and hooves, kicking the lion to death is not a problem. ...

Richard Brooke, the city zoo, expressed his sadness at Carlos' death. He said, "Gerald is still in the cage. He didn't do anything wrong." As the saying goes, "A good swimmer will drown". Therefore, no matter what industry we are engaged in, in order to avoid such a tragedy, we still have to hold a heart of awe and caution towards the working object!
