Giraffes are pleasant, friendly creatures. Unlike most other zoo animals, they come right up to you and say hello. They even smile for the camera, like the giraffe in the photograph above. At the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado Springs, there are walkways that allow you to actually pet the giraffes. However, unlike the apes, which are highly intelligent creatures, I get the feeling that giraffes don't have too much upstairs. Coming right up to you, trying to please everyone, not too much upstairs - my God, they sound like a congressman campaigning for office. Of course, unlike a congressman, I'm willing to bet that a giraffe wouldn't turn into a swine as soon as it got to Washington. Am I being too cynical, or what?
