Fighting Giraffes - Neatorama

[YouTube - Link]

You'd probably think that giraffes are gentle animals by looking at them in a zoo. But in the wild, when push comes to shove, these wild animals fight and fight hard.

But have you ever thought of *how* they fight? After all, all giraffes have are their looooong necks. This clip, filmed on safari in Tanzania, will show you.

(NH4)2Cr2O7 is Ammonium dichromate which is sometimes called "Vesuvian Fire" as it was commonly used to simulate a volcanic eruption. I remember building ing a plaster of paris volcano model and making it erupt in my 6th grade class (circa 1967--yeah, I'm old)
The other compound is Mercury(II) thiocyanate (Hg(SCN)2) AKA "Pharoah's Serpent" It used to be used in fireworks because of its black-snake effect. However, it isn't readily available anymore because it is toxic.
