Giraffe! I don't know if it was named Victor. Or even male.
Zoe: Yeah? Thought you'd get land crazy that long in port. Wash: Probably, but I've been sane a long while now, and change is good.

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

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!

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
... 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!!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Also, Place in Africa called Giraffe Manor .Next time my dad is missing, I should just start looking here.
Giraffes are cute and fierce.
Weirdly, there were giraffes in one of my Buffista-filled dreams. Perchance they lurk...

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
We saw a taxidermied giraffe today.
Also, I recall that the giraffe can swing its head around like a big whacking hammer. Plus big kicking.
I've never seen a hyena bring down a giraff and I'm going to presume that's for the same reason I've never seen a lion take down an elephant. Too big.
