He said both of the Williams are scientists “with post-PhD experience in animal related fields.”
...
They have a lot more experience now.

No one to blame, this is just stuff that happens in nature.

Man.
You’re sitting in a wildlife reserve in Africa, keeping a close eye on the lions and crocodiles and hyenas and a giraffe comes over and does a tap dance on you.

That white family should use this as an excuse to get the hell out of SA.

Giraffes aren’t that quiet.
They do a lot of yodeling.
They have the throat for it.

Well. There goes my idea of taking a giraffe home as my Registered Therapy Animal.
Maybe get a pitbull instead?

Prayers for mother and son. Although rare, an attack by a giraffe is a serious event. Those are extremely large and powerful animals capable of fending off lions.
The mother sounds like she had adequate training but sometimes even the best trained and most cautious will find themselves in the wrong spot at the wrong time. Too bad the little boy was there too.

Yeah, but having this happen to a 3 year old child?
Yeah. I blame the mother.

Maybe a pitgiraffe.
They wear black leather jackets.

What the heck, taking a toddler so close to a mother giraffe and her baby. Bet the toddler was throwing a tantrum which frightened the giraffe. The human mother was likely at fault.

Yeah. I blame the mother.
Nature is THEIR religion.... but they forget that nature is a thing apart and w/o any regard for THEM.

No one to blame, but a good excuse to bag a trophy giraffe.
The only problem I see is how to mount the giraffe head so that you can hang it on the wall. Do you just have this long six foot neck with the head attached just jutting out from the wall? Or maybe you section it, and have several neck sections and the head mounted on separate adjoining plaques? Inquiring minds want to know.

He said the couple understand nature after living and working for years in the African bush and that the incident could only be explained as "an act of nature."To paraphrase Chris Rock (when he was talking about the tiger attack on Siegfried and Roy,) "That giraffe didn't go crazy. That giraffe went giraffe!"
