I used to be obsessed with these big bastards as a kid, my grandma thought it was cute, and now her house is filled with giraffe-related art. Whenever I went to her house, I used to always go to the zoo with her to feed the giraffes.

pretty sure dogs cats and even rats have done this, just not in a controlled laboratory. both my dog and my cat could do this with treats (but only my big dogs could consistently prefer a larger treat to a smaller one and act peeved over a treat being broken in half)

waste of grant money
>>
>>5000389
Funny, my dog like her treats broken, maybe she thinks I'm actually giving her more.
>>
>>5000397
your dog might be stupid. mine will tolerate it but act more stubborn if they only get a half treat and always picks bigger treats over smaller ones.

can your dog do the statistical reasoning test? use kibble and cheese.

I don't think they're over-thinking it
They just see that one box looks more "carroty" than the other one, like it looks more like food
So that's the box they're interested in
They're not thinking in terms of sampling individual items

Bad attempts to kill a giraffe.
And that one fucker like he was Goku with 10 tons of weight on arms and legs. Afaik the lions had to retreat cause it was too much waste of energy to put it down.
>>
>>5014524
What can a giraffe actually do though? If you hug its hind legs it can't reach you with its hooves, and its too sluggish to get away while you repeatedly bite it from behind. If you stand to the side of its hind legs then it won't even be able to hit you with a back kick. If it raises its leg to perform a stomp then all you have to do is back off until it finishes its slam, then move back in to continue chomping.

Did you know that eighty-percent of giraffes are gay. I’m serious. They mount males more than females, and can be seen sucking metal poles at zoos. Some are known to sit on upright logs (apes do this too).

Some people would say giraffes don't understand the concept of homosexuality. Some others would say everything that humans defined should be applied to animals because we're so top of the food chain, we're the chosen ones and because of le God.

I still want a gay giraffe bf in my bed.

It's been settled. There are four species of Giraffe in this world.
Many others are subspecies, some coat patterns just mean another eco-species (like G. giraffa rothschildii) and then there's the Okapi.
