A helicopter ushers a giraffe towards conservation workers in order to secure the large mammal as part of a relocation effort.

The conservation workers use long ropes in front of the already-darted giraffe in order to slow it down, on a farm outside Vaalwater, South Africa.

Giraffes rarely go down on their own after being sedated, which is why long ropes are used to secure the animals' long legs, to prevent harm to it and the ground crew.

A young giraffe bull is darted because it needs to be relocated. When a giraffe is darted, it hardly ever goes down on its own after the sedative takes effect. This calls for a ground crew to use extremely long ropes to get in-front of the giraffe and try and brake its speed and eventually take it down to be secured. As the giraffe can kick in almost every direction, it is crucial to secure the legs with the rope once it is down to prevent harm to come to animal and ground-crew. In the video the already darted giraffe is ushered with the helicopter towards the ground-crew to be secured.
