Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness. Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

Giraffes are loved by many including me and Cass. So they win.

We just watched a giraffe scare off a lion.

Also, if giraffes fall and sit a certain way, they can't get back up and are screwed.

Victor the giraffe... what a sad story.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

Hyenas want meat. Giraffe want leaves.

Poor giraffe, he wanted the wrong thing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Giraffe! I don't know if it was named Victor. Or even male.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Kat, weren't we talking about Giraffes with you when we were out last time? I loves me those long-necked goofballs!

Victor's mate.

Also, jealous.

... on this issue of giraffes chasing off lions...

Lazy lions do not an argument make.

Speaking of hyenas, encyclopedia britannica sez:

Order Carnivora branched into dog and cat lineages 50 million years ago; hyenas arose from the cat group. Thus, although hyenas look like dogs, they are actually more closely related to cats.

I had no idea.

I LOVE GIRAFFES. So my answer to that is, yes, Robin. Most likely.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK, fine, mama giraffe would kick the hyena's ass. Literally. I thought they were in a squash court!!
