VILNIUS, Lithuania - Climbing into a giraffe's cage at the local zoo seemed a good idea after a few drinks. But the prank went wrong when the 1.3-ton animal flew into a rage and attacked the three student trespassers at a zoo in Lithuania on Monday night.
Ruta Greiciute, a 22-year-old student at Kaunas Technology University, was hospitalized with a broken collar bone and nose after the 9-year-old male giraffe, named Solut, attacked her.
The other students survived the incident unscathed.

OK, even animals in cages should be considered “wild”life.

Giraffes are fairly docile..but I’d wager that this one had a calf with her...they have been known to kill lions in the wild..

Too bad that won’t be following them forever and ever on their “permanent record”.

Anybody working near or around a zoo knows that the giraffe is the most dangerous animal to work around and is responsible for a significant number of caretaker deaths and injuries. The giraffe covers ground so quick by the time one realizes that one is being attacked, its over. The only time I ever worked on a giraffe was after it had been darted.
