Neg Posted September 6, 2013 Share http://www.dailymail...s-photo-it.html <p>This irritable giraffe was clearly not in the mood for a close-up.And the angry animal made his feelings known to cyclist Louise John Rex, by stomping on his £2,000 bicycle.Louise and friend Ryk van Niekerk were travelling by bike across the Groenkloof Nature Reserve in Pretoria, South Africa.Scroll down for video http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/09/06/article-2413661-1BA70ACA000005DC-369_306x423.jpghttp://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/09/06/article-2413661-1BA7073A000005DC-705_306x423.jpg Smile!

Wyatt Earp Posted September 7, 2013 Share Well, if the newspaper quoted him properly , then his intelligence has no bounds. He said: 'I had to jump off my bike immediately - there was no time to drive away.' Maniax and Pieter1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarHugger Posted September 7, 2013 Share Monkey see ...... monkey do! The giraffe is now learning new behaviour and the chase is on for a more expensive bike (by the way, why mention the bike's price? It does not look like a DS Cannondale Scalpel Carbon Ultimate 29er. Does someone need a little bit of special attention, recognition and fame?). Maybe a chance/attempt to see if you can make it on youtube? Don't be surprised if the endangered "erectus mtb peddalliataria cyclisitos" start complaining about problem animals in their habitat.
