折斷脖子長頸鹿頑強生存5年
自然界中，野生動物的生命力超乎你我的想像!擔任8年專業動物攝影師的德賴斯代爾(Mark Drysdale)拍下了驚人畫面，一頭雄性長頸鹿在與同伴爭奪異性時脖子受重傷，但它竟然能在“沒醫沒藥”，危機四伏的野外頑強活下來!可謂是鹿堅強!
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.
這組驚人照片的主人翁公長頸鹿——雖然他在和情敵搶妹子的時候被打斷了脖子，卻還是頑強的在野外生存了5年。
野生動物攝影師馬克·德賴斯代爾在塞倫蓋蒂國家公園路獵途中發現了這隻長頸鹿。
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.
導遊告訴吃驚的遊客說，這隻長頸鹿是爲了獲得母長頸鹿注意，與另一名公長頸鹿打鬥時受的傷。
圖中的長頸鹿由於歪了脖子，再也無法吃到最高的樹葉。
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.
照理說，通常受到這類嚴重傷害的野生動物得不到醫療救治，難以存活在大自然中，更可能被捕食者吃掉。
但該長頸鹿雖然歪了脖子，依舊存活至今。
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.'
馬賽長頸鹿是世界上最高的動物，身高可達19英尺(約5米8)。
專業拍攝動物8年之久的德賴斯代爾先生說道：“我從沒見過這樣子的!”
“但是別的動物都很平常的對待他，就好像他完全是個正常的長頸鹿，而且這貨看上去活的很開心啊!”
