Giraffe copulation is very quick
We had a rare sighting of Masai Giraffe in the act of copulation. The research on this topic describes it as happening extremely quickly, with ejaculation happening the instant the male achieves penetration. See for yourself in the following videos.
The female actively participates in the process, backing up to the male and swishing her tail around the erect penis. This is preceded by some tender brushing of necks.
