Do people not realize that if any wild animal wants to ruin your day there's nothing you can do about it if you get too close? Giraffe max speed 37 mph. Humans 21 mph. Choose wisely.
They’re around the house all the time. Very used to people, and we are quite used to them. Gotta chase them sometimes when they come close, they break branches off the trees and drop thorny twigs all over the place.
Oh I'm a humor driven black man. That ends with me dead 100% of the time. I've seen this movie before!
Yeah this photo is absolutely terrifying. A giraffe is easily able to kill you.
Sure, but they are very docile. It’s the zebra you have to watch out for. They do this little surprise sideways kick that will put you in hospital.
Here are some of them stealing pellets from the impala.
