Aaaw it’s not dull, i’ve got major zoo cravings now lol.
Which zoo did you go hun?
They’ve got huuuuuuge tongues lol

hmmm

if they are your favourit animals why are you giving the zoo money to keep them caged?

not meaning to sound a dick at all, just interested in a debate about the rightness or wrongness of zoo’s i suppose!

I was under the impression that giraffes were huge, now i don’t want to be funny but huge they are not.

Or is that girl feeding them really really tall?

The mind boggles. Another case of what they teach you at school been absolute rubbish.

:laugh_at:

giraffes are awesome to feed … I went to a place in the lakes last year and stayed the whole day to feed them 3 times!!

was top banana!

I wanna feed a giraffe:weee: Anywhere in yorkshire got them?

Oh yea flamingo land, I used to go there when i was a kid.

There are two types of giraffe at Flamingo Land, the Reticulated and the Rothschilds. These are really quite similar, except the Rothschilds, which is the rarer of the two species, has fuzzier markings.
The giraffe’s natural habitat is open woodland and wooded grassland in sub-Saharan Africa. In the wild their average life span is between 10 and 15 years, but in captivity, where they have no predators and are less prone to disease, they can live up to 25 years.
Giraffe live in small herds with one dominant male. They are herbivores, spending much of the day grazing on thorny acacia trees, the males from the high branches, the females from the lower.

The giraffe is the tallest mammal in the world; they can grow up to 19’ (5.7m) – that’s about the height of the gutter on a two-storey house! They can weigh up to 190 stones (1200 kilos)!

The natural predators of the giraffe young are lions, hyenas and leopards. The real enemy of the fully-grown giraffe is man, who hunts these majestic creatures to make tourist souvenirs.

There are no more vertebrae (small bones) in the neck of the giraffe than there are in yours!

A giraffe’s heart can pump up to 16 gallons (61 litres) of blood per minute!

Giraffe sleep standing up or lying down but for no more than 20 minutes at a time!!

thats pretty bloody cool, the one in the middle looks well happy!

aah of course, that explains it!

Its the first one that came up on google,

Anyway its only natural we all do it,

sometimes not as often as we’d like but still:weee:

i understand what your saying about animals and zoos being a bit wrong but youve got to remember 99% of the animals are born in captivity so realy they dont no any differance..

:laugh_at:

So if you were born in prison you would be happy to remain there because you didn’t know any different?

yeh but there animals so fuck them, aint nothing but fancy looking steaks

That’s what the lions and tigers think of you…
