Carlos Carvalho, 47, was at the Glen Africa Country Lodge in South Africa shooting a series about a British family in a game lodge when he attempted to get a close-up shot of Gerald, the giraffe, Deadline reported.
While Carvalho was trying to get his shot, Gerald head-butted the filmmaker and sent him 16 feet in the air. Carvalho suffered massive head injuries as a result. The filmmaker was airlifted to Johannesburgs Milpark Hospital where he died.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Richard Booker, whose family owns the lodge, told The Telegraph that Gerald would not be put down.
"Gerald will remain at the lodge. He did nothing wrong, Booker said.

Looks like Carlos got the butt as in head-butt.
I am glad they are not doing anything to the giraffe, as they said the animal did nothing wrong.

It’s an animal doing what animals do. Why punish the animal for that.

Had he only sought a close-up of a miniature giraffe instead.

I’m not recommending punishment for the animal. I’m merely recommending a changed dynamic so the animal can’t hurt others
Yes, it’s an animal doing what animals do.

I think I was recalling that phrasing from an episode of the little rascals. Anyone else remember that one? I might be misremembering. Lol.

To put it simply... he was head-butted by the giraffe because he invaded the animal's safe space by getting in its face trying to get a close up shot.
Live and learn.

Live and learn. That's a good plan. Unfortunately he messed up the first part of it.

I’m sorry the man was killed but it was his fault... not the giraffe’s.
