There are only five well-documented fatal lightning strikes on giraffes between 1996 and 2010. But due to the population of the species being just 140,000 during this time, it makes for about 0.003 lightning deaths per thousand giraffes each year. This is 30 times the equivalent fatality rate for humans.

I highly doubt that...you give me like, I dunno, let's say 5 people, and a catapult, and I bet you I can hit a giraffe before it gets struck by lightning.
Even more confident if you give me a people-sized potato cannon.
Ah, the new Lemmy giraffaroo?
Hold my can of beans!
I'm going in!
We should start a chain on Lemmy
Already started: !lemmaroo@lemmy.world
The head of the chain is currently here: https://feddit.org/comment/1716202
Cool
It's the old lemmaroo!lemmaroo@lemmy.world at this point.
