The American wife and young son of a British scientist are fighting for their lives in hospital after being viciously attacked by a giraffe at a wildlife reserve in South Africa, Daily Mail reported.

Terrified Katy Williams, 35, and son Finn, 3, were left close to just 150 yards from their home on the Blyde Wildlife Estate near Hoedspruit after the terrifying encounter.

Husband Sam Williams, 36, was returning home from work and saw his wife and son under attack and was able to chase off the giraffe and save their lives.

The giraffe which had a two month old calf with it is believed to have attacked the young mom and her son because it felt under threat when they surprised her.

It is believed scientist Dr Katy Williams and her son Finn were trampled by the female giraffe in a vicious and sustained attack until her husband Sam arrived and drove the beast away. 

Katy Williams, 35, and son Finn, 3, are said to be in stable but critical condition.
