With no natural predators in the UK the population will grow exponentially. Before long you will be woken up on a summer morning to the sight of a fucking giraffe with its head through the bedroom window asking for food.
Even lions see them as too much hard work to bring down with those long legs and hoofs and a neck not that low to reach, they just look for easier prey
"*You never *had* control, that's the illusion!*
*"I was overwhelmed by the power of these giraffes! But I made a mistake, too, I didn't have enough respect for that power and it's out now. The only thing that matters now are the people we love. They're out there where people are being killed by giraffes.*"
I was about to object to that as there's no much meat on a giraffe, but there's none at all in a pizza crunch and we deep fry them and they are DELCIOUS so i'll just pipe down. As you were.
Probably will destroy nesting habits for birds .
They will rest all the elderflower and other tree flowers that the insects eat , killing off a good source for bats and birds.
Humans have made this mistake so many times .
Red squirrels wiped out because the giraffes nibble all the tender ends to branches and the squirrels have nowhere to escape from the recently reintroduced pine martens. Then the pine martens get hungry so they start eating the eggs of ground nesting birds instead. Lynx are reintroduced to deal with the pine marten menace (which is an actual suggestion currently in the table) and the giraffes keep tripping over them, resulting in road blocks as pathetically injured three legged giraffes congregate on the highways as it’s the only place they can balance. Result - traffic chaos, and a huge upsurge in air travel and global warming.
I have spent far too many minutes of my life wondering if there should be a comma between "cats and dogs" and "living together".
Does he mean Cats and dogs living together" or "Cats and dogs" like there will be a plague or some other completely Bill murray randomness, and "living together" because it's sinful (the bishop was in the mayors office at the time.
Oh thank god. I spent a clear minute flip flopping myself. I'm now also wondering whether the comma before "mass hysteria" should've been a semicolon, too.
have you seen that video where the two males are fighting? those funny things they have on their head? they beat the hell out of each other with them!
I always thought they were quite graceful and peaceful animals. After seeing that? pfffft, take precaution around those guys.
I'm not into beastiality or anything, but out of curiosity I really wanna see an XL Bully trying to mount a Giraffe, or the other way round.
Like breeding a Yorkshire Terrier with a Great Dane.
I used to stud my jack russell. One lady bought a full size beagle for him
Had to hold the poor buggers back legs up for him to reach. Was a pretty uncomfortable half hour.
I've just recently started a new business selling Giraffe leads - so if this rally takes off... Please consider buying from me. Business been a bit quite, of late.
I live in Australia.
I have a friend from Korea.
I told her quite a long time ago that giraffes had been in a zoo in Scotland. The zoo closed and most of the animals were moved elsewhere, but the giraffes had become acclimated or there was some legal reasons or something that meant, ultimately, they stayed in Scotland. I can’t even remember the bullshit I came away with.. or why?
Anyway, I told her they had been relocated to a public park in Scotland, and over generations they had become essentially domesticated, and would come and meet people in the park for head scratches and food and what not.
And also, that time they had developed hairier manes on their neck, due to the cold weather, and that because the trees in Scotland are much less tall, their necks are way shorter than usual.
This was years ago, and she was skeptical and I didn’t push it too hard and we moved on and I forgot about it.
She’s been meticulously planning a big trip, and she messaged me recently, “I’ve been googling the Glasgow giraffes and can’t find anything.. were you taking the piss!?”
Real slow burner.
I absolutely love that this has stuck with her for years and that also this would absolutely be me....
I'm not the brightest when someone is steadfast in their knowledge
You should tell her about the wallabies that have pretty much done exactly that up in Scotland! There are actual wild colonies of wallabies up there now! Animals living and breeding in Europe for a long time have also gained thicker fur and stuff like that to adapt to the cold. You can see it a lot in meerkats
I actually did mention the wallabies!
There is also a colony of super rare albino wallabies that are thriving on an island off the coast of Tasmania! Funny lookin’ little things.
They smell a bit funny. Like, the giraffe house at the zoo has this very specific smell. It's sort of like ready salted Chipsticks but a thousand times more intense. Not exactly horrible, but odd.
On the other hand, they are my toddler's favourite animal, so what the hell. Maybe I will finally find out what noise they make.
Yes they make a really deep mooing noise! My kid was fascinated by giraffes too when she was a toddler, so I had to look up a recording of the noise they make
Mine too was one of my children asking! Made me realise that having kids exposes gaps in knowledge of things that aren't essential knowledge but are really amazing facts haha.
Fridges have a top?!
At 5ft 2 I honestly forget things exist above 5ft 10 sometimes. Made it very easy for my tall ex to hide pressies around the house 😄
Giraffes are enormous. I've seen nature documentaries where a giraffe killed a lion with a kick. But, on the other hand, we don't have lions. And they are great pollinators, apparently. Fuck it, I'm in.
How clever are they? Can they be trained? Could be really useful for getting kites, frisbees, cats etc. down from tall trees.
Can they be ridden? Would make high up jobs like gutter clearing a lot easier, but I’d be worried about potential impact on the ladder industry?
A three ton animal that kills lions by stomping and kicking them, and fights other giraffes by using its neck as a club? I can’t imagine that going wrong.
That’s what they said about bamboo, Japanese knotweed, bullfrogs in Australia, sea lampreys in the US, and Americans in the Middle East … awww they are cute what harm could they cause 🤷🏻♂️😂 (the last parts a funny before I get voted to oblivion)
Saw herds of them when I visited Kenya and Tanzania, they're amazing, majestic animals. I love the idea of them roaming wild here but I'm not sure if our countryside / wild areas would be substantial enough. Could be wrong.
I’m still traumatised by the sad death of “Victor” the giraffe in the late 1970s, poor thing fell down and couldn’t get back up again and it led to his very public demise. it was a huge news story at the time. I was a massive fan of giraffes as a child and so heartbroken that my aunt bought me a ride on giraffe on wheels, I called him Victor in homage and he’s still with us, my brother, cousin, nephews all had him to play with when they were tots and now he sits in his retirement in the guest room at my folks house. I welcome more giraffes in the UK as long as they don’t fall down.
If you reintroduce animals that were native to the UK but have died out, it's beneficial to the environment. Wild bovine drag their feet creating opportunities for plants to grow. There's a nature reserve in the US, they put wolves back in and flowers that hadn't been seen in a long time started to grow.
We were taught in school that giraffes developed long necks so that they could access higher parts of a tree and eat.
Turns out, no, they have figured out the necks and head shape are all designed over time to be very good at hitting other giraffes with it to establish dominance. Idk if we should have that in the UK.
Best not to [butt](https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/arts-and-entertainment/wp/2018/05/07/filmmaker-carlos-carvalho-dies-after-a-fatal-run-in-with-a-giraffe-he-was-filming-at-a-south-african-wildlife-facility/) heads with one.
Futurama called it, it won't end well:
🎵In the year One Million and a half,
Humankind is enslaved by giraffe
Man must pay for all his misdeeds
When the treetops are stripped of their leaves
Wooaah!🎵
It would be very expensive. All the electricity pylons would have to be raised by a couple of metres to account for the height difference between the tallest horse and the tallest giraffe.
There's been some serious discussion on reintroducing elephants to Denmark, so why not?
https://theconversation.com/rewilding-conservationists-want-to-let-elephants-loose-in-europe-heres-what-could-happen-168212#:~:text=In%20Denmark%2C%20researchers%20have%20proposed,yet%20been%20able%20to%20resurrect.
>never met anyone with a bad word to say about them
I love the idea of discussing a giraffe over a pint. “Yea mate we’ve had a new one start in our office downstairs, right knobhead…”
It has been suggested several times that we could try to establish semi wild populations of endangered animals such as rhinos in Europe, America or Australia as a sort of back up population where poaching shouldn't be as much of an issue.
I seem to remember one of the proposed sites at some point was in Denmark for Elephants (?) - so British giraffe aren't too far off - but I might be wrong.
[Giraffe attack: Toddler killed in attack in safari park in South Africa | Evening Standard](https://www.standard.co.uk/news/world/toddler-killed-mother-critical-giraffe-attack-south-africa-kuleni-game-farm-durban-b1034017.html)
Dunno what do you reckon?
My friend already tried by starting this rumour ten years ago…https://www.richmondandtwickenhamtimes.co.uk/news/11306747.no-giraffes-in-richmond-park-royal-parks-confirms/
I don't think Giraffes can tolerate lower single digit temperature in the first place so will need shelter and warmth for about 6 months a year pretty much turning into a bigger zoo like setup. Normally when relocating animals to national parks or wildlife it is generally a like to like environment.
What? Giraffe can be dangerous, it's own weight is dangerous. Horses are nice and calm but it can kill with one well placed kick only because it got spooked by you or something else.
Trying to work out why a crypto bot account has suddenly switched to promoting giraffes. Should we be investing in them? Are they a rapid growth opportunity?
I think they have Giraffes at Marwell near Southampton.
It's been yeeears but visited there tripping my balls off on acid. Had to leave early as I thought the giraffes were going to eat me.
Ooh Ooh! Can I drop my giraffe fact I learned from my kid's homework?
Humans have the same number of neck bones as giraffes.
You're welcome.
Also rainbows are round.
Jokes aside: it would end badly, but in ways we didn't even imagine. The interesting thing is trying to work out exactly how.
With no natural predators in the UK the population will grow exponentially. Before long you will be woken up on a summer morning to the sight of a fucking giraffe with its head through the bedroom window asking for food.
Bloody giraffes coming over here expecting handouts
So I said to that giraffe “I ain’t giving you no tree fiddy you god damn giraffe! Get your own god damn money”
Ooo thats the pot roast i need to get it out the oven
We were all giraffes millions of years ago mate.
No problem. Just introduce lions to keep them under control
Yep, problem solved, now that's all wrapped up let's go for a lovely walk through this long grass.
Even lions see them as too much hard work to bring down with those long legs and hoofs and a neck not that low to reach, they just look for easier prey
Are you threatening me with a good time
Is this not a problem with horses? Albeit lower windows... But what predators do horses have?
Findus...
You're saying we can't make a giraffe lasagne? That's defeatist.
Well I've heard if Giraffe bread so why not.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Jockeys
Race giraffes.
Or a giraffe fucking
Okay. So now we need to think of the potential downsides.
The giraffes evolve opposable thumbs.
[удалено]
The ceilings are pretty high in Westminster so it would seem the plan for the arrival of our new giraffe overlords has been in place for a long time
I for one welcome our new Giraffe overlords.
At least we know they'd stick their neck out for us.
The Giraffes don't respect us, they're always looking down on us.
You think that, until they try to introduce Shariaffe law.
Kent Brockman over here
AT THE COST OF MILLIONS TO THE TAX PAYER!!!!!!1111ONE
In the year 1,000,000½...
Life, err..., finds a way.
Do they like nuts? I could see them like wiping out walnuts or conkers or something lol
So it's the giraffes that took the walnut off of Walnut Whips!?
That's the point of *Jurassic Park* iirc
"*You never *had* control, that's the illusion!* *"I was overwhelmed by the power of these giraffes! But I made a mistake, too, I didn't have enough respect for that power and it's out now. The only thing that matters now are the people we love. They're out there where people are being killed by giraffes.*"
The Scottish would deep fry them
He was looking for problems.
I was about to object to that as there's no much meat on a giraffe, but there's none at all in a pizza crunch and we deep fry them and they are DELCIOUS so i'll just pipe down. As you were.
Probably will destroy nesting habits for birds . They will rest all the elderflower and other tree flowers that the insects eat , killing off a good source for bats and birds. Humans have made this mistake so many times .
I can see the headlines now XL BULLY ATTACKS XL HORSE!
Red squirrels wiped out because the giraffes nibble all the tender ends to branches and the squirrels have nowhere to escape from the recently reintroduced pine martens. Then the pine martens get hungry so they start eating the eggs of ground nesting birds instead. Lynx are reintroduced to deal with the pine marten menace (which is an actual suggestion currently in the table) and the giraffes keep tripping over them, resulting in road blocks as pathetically injured three legged giraffes congregate on the highways as it’s the only place they can balance. Result - traffic chaos, and a huge upsurge in air travel and global warming.
...the seas will boil...the skies will turn red..
Cats and dogs living together, mass hysteria!
I have spent far too many minutes of my life wondering if there should be a comma between "cats and dogs" and "living together". Does he mean Cats and dogs living together" or "Cats and dogs" like there will be a plague or some other completely Bill murray randomness, and "living together" because it's sinful (the bishop was in the mayors office at the time.
Oh thank god. I spent a clear minute flip flopping myself. I'm now also wondering whether the comma before "mass hysteria" should've been a semicolon, too.
Maybe they would become the new Apex predator
We'd discover giraffe's favourite food is actually barn owls.
When they can't get swallows, yes.
have you seen that video where the two males are fighting? those funny things they have on their head? they beat the hell out of each other with them! I always thought they were quite graceful and peaceful animals. After seeing that? pfffft, take precaution around those guys.
Extremely strong kicks as well, enough to kill a lion iirc.
Massive tax evaders. They'd tank the already fragile economy. Introduce them to Jersey and let them thrive.
I imagine they’d probably get eaten given the amount of food banks and poverty we have in the U.K.
New power line height regulations incoming
They'd cause a lot of traffic accidents, I was in Africa once and they casually cross main roads
Give it a week and someone would be breeding XL Bully giraffes in a very tall shed.
I'm not into beastiality or anything, but out of curiosity I really wanna see an XL Bully trying to mount a Giraffe, or the other way round. Like breeding a Yorkshire Terrier with a Great Dane.
>I'm not into beastiality And yet >I really wanna see an XL Bully trying to mount a Giraffe Sure thing, Bucko!
A giraffe's penis can reach 4 feet long. I doubt the XL Bully would survive the attempt.
That's one way to rid them from the population
Rhino x Giraffe cross
You'd end up with a Giro, and no one would be happy
I used to stud my jack russell. One lady bought a full size beagle for him Had to hold the poor buggers back legs up for him to reach. Was a pretty uncomfortable half hour.
You've got some strange hobbies, my friend
Like one of those custom aircraft hangers
Vibes of Alan Partridge’s farmers there.
I did not imagine that I’d be anxiously thinking about predatory giraffes today, but here we are. ***Here we are.***
I've just recently started a new business selling Giraffe leads - so if this rally takes off... Please consider buying from me. Business been a bit quite, of late.
I didn't know they had to be plugged in
All quality stuff guys, good work everybody
Does the collar go at the top or the bottom of the neck?
At the top, but here's the kicker - the lead is only a metre long. It's so you can maintain dominance over your giraffe. Keep it meek.
Depends on your budget.
I live in Australia. I have a friend from Korea. I told her quite a long time ago that giraffes had been in a zoo in Scotland. The zoo closed and most of the animals were moved elsewhere, but the giraffes had become acclimated or there was some legal reasons or something that meant, ultimately, they stayed in Scotland.

She’s been meticulously planning a big trip, and she messaged me recently, “I’ve been googling the Glasgow giraffes and can’t find anything.. were you taking the piss!?” Real slow burner.
Lost their spots and moved to Shetland?
It’s alright, I think the highland coos will make up for it 🐮
I absolutely love that this has stuck with her for years and that also this would absolutely be me.... I'm not the brightest when someone is steadfast in their knowledge
Well, she got me back by telling me Squidgame was based on a real life underground gambling set up in Korea. Turns out I am also not the brightest..
I love the relationship you have with this person! Bit of casual revenge in the sweetest way should be a part of every friendship.
Wait till you find out about the haggis birds!
The ones with one leg shorter than the other so they can speedily traverse steep munros?
You should tell her about the wallabies that have pretty much done exactly that up in Scotland! There are actual wild colonies of wallabies up there now! Animals living and breeding in Europe for a long time have also gained thicker fur and stuff like that to adapt to the cold. You can see it a lot in meerkats
I actually did mention the wallabies! There is also a colony of super rare albino wallabies that are thriving on an island off the coast of Tasmania! Funny lookin’ little things.
I think it'll be a pain in the neck
I'm not going to stick my neck out on this one.
That's a bit of a stretch.
Are you having a giraffe?
Well I'm not having one. Anyone else on here having a giraffe?
I think the OP was
I'm afraid that I, for one, am not willing to give up my beloved avocado and bacon on toast for this.
Agreed. A pet giraffe would inconvenient.
Like that elephant I adopted via a charity. It’s destroyed my garden.
I have a Scottish Deerhound, it's basically the same thing. And yes, it can be inconvenient.
I couldn't eat a whole one
Might be a bit of a tall order
Think the OP has their head in the clouds!
At least someone is putting their neck on the line
Stupid long horses
Everyone knows a horse is just an arrogant cow! Stupid long horsed arrogant cow!
Rude
*edit spelling
The Chinese for giraffe literally translates to "long neck deer"
Yes, purely just to see the look on sheep's faces *What the baaaa was that?*
And they complained when the llamas arrived.
Language!
Apparently they are quite difficilt to breed. They tried giving the males viagra, but they just ended up with stiff necks.
Breed? OP just wants to be introduced to them.
Did the pill get stuck on the way down?
They smell a bit funny. Like, the giraffe house at the zoo has this very specific smell. It's sort of like ready salted Chipsticks but a thousand times more intense. Not exactly horrible, but odd. On the other hand, they are my toddler's favourite animal, so what the hell. Maybe I will finally find out what noise they make.
I'm sure they either MOO or NEIGH like a horse.... I googled it ages ago cause I was curious. I think, moo.
Yes they make a really deep mooing noise! My kid was fascinated by giraffes too when she was a toddler, so I had to look up a recording of the noise they make
Mine too was one of my children asking! Made me realise that having kids exposes gaps in knowledge of things that aren't essential knowledge but are really amazing facts haha.
Lots of telephone lines going to get broken with giraffes wandering around.
They will be great for defense against drones.
And telling you what's on top of your fridge
Fridges have a top?! At 5ft 2 I honestly forget things exist above 5ft 10 sometimes. Made it very easy for my tall ex to hide pressies around the house 😄
This post was written by a giraffe wanting to be freed.
They seem nice but I've heard they look down on people
I saw a bloke riding one once. I told him to get off his high horse.
Giraffes are enormous. I've seen nature documentaries where a giraffe killed a lion with a kick. But, on the other hand, we don't have lions. And they are great pollinators, apparently. Fuck it, I'm in.
Some jurassic park like fence be needed
Giraffic Park
Mike Tyson
Girrafic Park
wildly underrated comment

You said it yourself they fight other giraffes. I wouldn't advocate for banning Anthony Joshua because he fights other big lads.
That’s what they said about bamboo, Japanese knotweed, bullfrogs in Australia, sea lampreys in the US, and Americans in the Middle East … awww they are cute what harm could they cause 🤷🏻♂️😂 (the last parts a funny before I get voted to oblivion)
So, in the wild savannahs of Yorkahire? They are browsers and tend to like a bit of sun and warm.
Saw herds of them when I visited Kenya and Tanzania, they're amazing, majestic animals. I love the idea of them roaming wild here but I'm not sure if our countryside / wild areas would be substantial enough. Could be wrong.
Never know until we try, maybe 50 or 60k in london to as a test run before they are national distributed
Richmond Park is really big could put like 30K right there
Fantastic idea, I must include it in my UK Giraffe manifesto!
I went there for the first time last winter, I could see giraffes mooching about the place, it's huge!
Oh wow, they've started already, yay for the Giraffe Project! Do you think they will breed in the wild?
Always liked the idea of living in Australia and opening my front door to a kangaroo. A giraffe would do nicely.
You can see some at Woburn Safari Park
I’m still traumatised by the sad death of “Victor” the giraffe in the late 1970s, poor thing fell down and couldn’t get back up again and it led to his very public demise. it was a huge news story at the time.

I welcome more giraffes in the UK as long as they don’t fall down.
I could do with one in my garden as the council are absolutely fucking useless at trimming their tree that casts a massive shadow over it.
Fuck it, why not.
I've seen some in the UK so I'm sure they already know about us
As Karl Pilkington would put it “do we need em?”
Can we also genetically engineer tiny elephants the size of Spaniels.
This should have been a question at the leadership debate.
If you reintroduce animals that were native to the UK but have died out, it's beneficial to the environment. Wild bovine drag their feet creating opportunities for plants to grow. There's a nature reserve in the US, they put wolves back in and flowers that hadn't been seen in a long time started to grow.
Did not know wolves were good at gardening.
You know why their necks are so long? Because their heads are so far away from their bodies.
UK doesn't have any thorn trees and that is what they eat! That's why they have such nice eyelashes
I, for one, welcome our new giraffe overlords
No. Have you seen them fight? Holy fuck it’s terrifying
We were taught in school that giraffes developed long necks so that they could access higher parts of a tree and eat. Turns out, no, they have figured out the necks and head shape are all designed over time to be very good at hitting other giraffes with it to establish dominance. Idk if we should have that in the UK.
They might ally with other long necks like Geese.
Giraffes are my favourite animal. They just look unreal, and I don't think I'll ever get used to them.
yes, we need something between birds and cows, long cows seem a good bet.
I say yes!
Would be amazing, but I fear that horrible people would hurt them. Then we would need to bring the death penalty baxk
>we would need to bring the death penalty baxk You couldn't hang a giraffe, he'd just stand there under the gallows with the noose as a necktie.
A swan can break your arm with its wing. Imagine what these necky bastards could do.
I mean…..if the neck meat is nice…….
Wind your neck in mate.
Totally.

Hugely, huge, violent horses sure why not.
Would make riding on the top deck of the bus worthwhile.

They could clean upstairs windows with their tongues.

We should, yes.

I don't think the giraffes deserve that fate to be honest.
Yer avin a giraff mate
Sounds hilarious, lets do it!
Maybe ask them , see what they think.
I don't think Giraffes can tolerate lower single digit temperature in the first place so will need shelter and warmth for about 6 months a year pretty much turning into a bigger zoo like setup. Normally when relocating animals to national parks or wildlife it is generally a like to like environment.
I’m sure the victorians said the same thing about grey squirrels
I love giraffes! But i couldnt eat a whole one.
What? Giraffe can be dangerous, it's own weight is dangerous. Horses are nice and calm but it can kill with one well placed kick only because it got spooked by you or something else.
Yes, and wombats, and armadillos.
I fear the rogue poaching gangs of beauticians after them for their eyelashes.
Trying to work out why a crypto bot account has suddenly switched to promoting giraffes. Should we be investing in them? Are they a rapid growth opportunity?
They’ve already got miniature ones in Wales. There are signs warning you about the Araf on the roads. Thought everyone knew?
Agreed. Let's release 20 or so in central London and see how we get on.
If they come along the A5 they'll be stopped by the low bridge at Hinckley.
I think they have Giraffes at Marwell near Southampton. It's been yeeears but visited there tripping my balls off on acid. Had to leave early as I thought the giraffes were going to eat me.
