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.

Critical hit!

Oh my word!
Bet she figured out giraffes aren’t as docile as they look.
Please forgive me......but this is a tad funny! ;-)))
Lesson 1: just because a giraffe looks like Ja-Ja Binks is not a good reason to tease it.
