Obviously you didn't watch enough animal documentaries as a child. Richard Attenborough was my god.

Wow, that looked pretty painful. Interesting that they don't seem to use their long legs to kick each other though.

Couldn't they balance themselves on 3 legs? Anyway it was a very short clip, maybe they do kick. {shrug}
