    Never seen footage of it anywhere but a big debate going on it the Tatty household.


    My heart says yes but head says no.

    Been a giraffe spesh on beeb2 tonight. Was watching King Kong whilst drawing a fella on a motorbike for a client, so missed it.

    I don't know the answer, but I suggest that your giraffe can wade through any water it has to navigate. they don't migrate far, being able to access food sources other critters can't. So I doubt they ever evolved the ability or had lessons.

    One sure way to find out though. Throw the lanky feckers in the sea...:)

    Why did you have to sit on a motorbike to do the drawing?

    Right then you nick a giraffe from Donny wildlife park. I will try and get my mate who is a key holder at Metrodone to open up and we will chuck Gerry in the deep end to see what happens.
