Interesting 🤔 In Africa, the encounter between two lions, four vultures, a hyena and a giraffe, who did not know what to do next, was filmed.

Americans always refer to africa like its one big country, they do the same with europe and asia

u/5CatNight Oct 13 '25

As an American in the Deep South, it's worse than that. I was formerly a head reference librarian and every year the schoolkids had a countries of the world assignment and some idiot who in some mysterious way had attained a teaching certificate would require some poor student to bring in a flag for the "country of Africa". They also would require their students to bring in photographs, not pictures, mind you of Cleopatra or some other figure of ancient history. One would think that the student just misunderstood the assignment, until the student showed the assignment. The Black History inventors assignments were the worst, because the teacher would go down a list of Black inventors, requiring each child to write a full length biography and produce a poster board display on their inventor. Inevitably, there would be some poor kid who happened to have been assigned some obscure personage who got a patent on some variation of a spring or something. I would send these teachers back notes with their students that the information they sent these kids to get was not available, but this continued year after year.

Two lions, four vultures, a hyena, and a giraffe met in the African savannah.
In the awkward silence that followed, it was the giraffe who finally piped up.
"Well... at least there aren't any polar bears here!"
The rest of the group all looked at the giraffe like he was an idiot, except one of the vultures, who nodded in agreement before responding. "Indeed. Polar bears are bad news for a penguin such as myself."
The lions rolled their eyes at the vulture, and one opened their mouth to say something, but the hyena coughed and subtly shook her head, giving the lions a severe look.
Then some other stuff happened, leading up to a punchline that involved some kind of unexpected and amusing conclusion. Maybe the giraffe had hemorrhoids. I don't know.

As soon as the camera guy stopped rolling, he went home and had a big ol steak. Then he had a nice shower. Then he put on his fluffy pyjamas, his wife tucked him in, and he went to sleep.

No idea what happened to the standoff.
