My favourite news story of the week appeared this morning. I really like giraffes, and even had an ‘up close and personal’ meeting with one last year,
but I just can’t imagine how this South African guy must have felt when he saw a young one galloping straight towards him as he was slowly driving through a Safari estate in his opened topped sport car. It ran right over his car with one hoof hitting his bonnet, and another just missing his head. You can see the full story here: http://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/News/Bloem-giraffe-does-BMW-leap-20130618
Luckily, neither he nor the giraffe were injured, but the car didn’t come out unscathed. Imagine contacting your insurance and claiming for giraffe damage. 🙂
