Redhawk Caldera giraffes are unable to cough.

Fin's charge lead her right into a pair of gaping jaws and another forward thrust of his bulky body.  She ducked her head again to avoid getting her throat chomped on, even though she knew Nightjar well enough to know that he would never actually harm her.  She also foolishly believed that he wasn't physically capable of it yet, but she sometimes thought that about bears and cougars, so maybe we don't read too much into that.

Finley twisted as they collided again and felt his jaws close upon her ruff just above her shoulder.  Knowing he would likely take the advantage to try and push her down, she attempted to thrust upwards to knock him off of his feet, not completely convinced that it would really work out the way she envisioned.  She was kinda small.
