Need Some Advice...

Post by Bailes1992 »

How big is a freshly born girraffe?

And would it fit in a car..

Like a 406 Estate?

What are you smoking?

Where can I get some?

I'm afraid new-born Giraffe's don't like to travel in cars and get very restless.

When we transported one in a Mondeo estate it got very restless and was sick a little bit. We surmised it was down to the fact that it couldn't stand up, couldn't get its bearings, and therefore suffered travel sickness.

A new-born calf on the other hand..........

That's a bit bluddy cryptic :frown: Is that his idea of how big a new-born giraffe is or does he actually have some hands-on experience that would put him in a position to be able to make such a comparison?

Of course a baby giraffe will fit in a 406 estate! An adult one will go in too - just need a wood chipper to "re-arrange" it a bit...

Dont know about baby giraffes , but i do know you can get a sheep in, well several
in fact and with space to roam about . In fact there is so much room the only way
to stop one moving about is to jam it firmly in the gap between the front seats . :twisted: :twisted:

I thought he meant he was concerned for the safety of the sheep and didn't want it moving around when braking/cornering oh wait..... :oops:
