I found a story from 2002 about a 'rogue giraffe' in Kenya who was the prime suspect in a murder case.
A story like Grampy's would be archived by giraffe haters the world over. Yet many zoos have giraffe feeding programmes precisely because giraffes are famously gentle.
No, giraffes have killed people in the past, but always in the same way: ki ...[text shortened]... l.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1277773/Giraffe-kicks-woman-death-trying-protect-calf-dog.html
I mean, really! Is the weather that bad around your neck of the woods that you have nothing going on?

I think you're confusing Bosse with our resident google-lover zeeblebot. you should probably apologize.
Originally posted by darvlayMaybe zeeblebot has an agenda as well, directed toward BDN, but to spend that much time on a throw away story (did he make it up? was it true? does it matter?) shows BDN has an ax to grind.

If the story isn't true, ask for reference and move on. Do we really need to know about the existence/non-existence of giraffe teeth, for Pete's sake? Smallish, in my opinion, lowly that it might be.

Originally posted by FreakyKBHFirst of all, "that much time" is a meaningless qualification.

Secondly, Grampy and others should be called out on their BS more often. Calling BS is a time-honoured tradition on internet forums.
Thirdly, I was interested in the existence of giraffe teeth so the answer to your last question is yes.
Fourthly, you seem like you have an axe to grind with BDN yourself the way you falsely characterized him then refused to apologize for your own mistake. Plus I have seen you argue with him many times and call each other names so your claim just smells a bit of hypocrisy.
NOW!
Let's get back to the topic of giraffe teeth before I get bored (again).
Originally posted by zeeblebotYou need the top teeth to be able to grip properly. Examine the way that sheep eat grass and you will understand my skepticism.
"no front teeth" is not the same as "no upper front teeth".
i've been face to face with a giraffe. i was on a platform at a small private ranch-style zoo đ
look at the size of the teeth in the photos! i don't think those giraffes would have much difficulty taking an ear off, even if the top half is gum only.
Here's an experiment: find a senior citizen with sound bottom teeth and dentures at the top; have them remove the dentures and ask them to give you a bite.
Report back with the results of your experiment.

Originally posted by Bosse de Nageyou could bite your upper lip off without any upper teeth. curl it back over your upper gums and try it.

only one surface needs to be sharp and hard. it's cutting through and ripping off cartilage, not bone.
