Giraffe Quotations

It's going to be a tremendous new addition. With the giraffes and the new lions, this should be a great year.

I would be a giraffe because I just want to experience what a sore throat and being a giraffe feels like. It would be really uncomfortable walking around in the Sahara and being like, 'I really need, like, 15 lozenges for my giraffe body.'

You need that guy like a giraffe needs strep throat.

Most of the things at the zoo don't look like us. We're one design that works. Our chimp pals sort of look like us, so that's a different take on the same basic design. But fish don't look like us, and giraffes don't. They look a little like us, but not too much. And insects certainly don't look like us, and they work just fine.

I have friends who come to the Australia Zoo, and it's just, instead of playing video games, we get to hug and kiss a giraffe or walk a tiger.

Hominids are very rare in the landscape, and it's very rare to find them.

The habitat is absolutely gorgeous. It is much larger than I had anticipated. The giraffes have quite a bit of room to roam around in.

Why didn't evolution make a giraffe good at carpentry so it could build a ladder?

Giraffes are completely tranquil - they have no predators as adults because there's not an animal in the jungle stupid enough to go for them.
