to add onto my last comment, they probably put pnut butr on the roof of the mouth of that lamb. did u know that sheep have no upper teeth? if sheep bite u when u wont give them n.e. more food, it hurts a lot more than an animal who has top and bottom teeth. on the top, there is a hard dental pad

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.
i like BdN, i just think he's wrong 🙂. giraffes are not all cute and fuzzy.

Sheep Farm Husbandry - Teeth
Sheep’s teeth, telling age by teeth, normal and abnormal mouth, teeth defects

By Dr Clive Dalton

Ageing sheep by their teeth

Sheep have no top teeth. Instead they have a hard dental pad that their bottom incisors bite against. You can estimate the age of sheep by when the front temporary milk teeth are replaced by permanent incisors. They get new ones in pairs working from the middle outwards. But be warned – it can only be an estimate as there is enormous individual variation between animals.

over and beyond all three restraining walls to nibble off a blond teenage girl's right ear as if it were a Cool Ranch Dorito.
She was taunting it by not hiding those seductive ears underneath a hijab!

Hey, Bosse. First to admit that I know diddly squat about animals and only maybe three things about giraffes (none of which are technical): They are extraordinarily fast; they have great vision; they're self sufficient in any habitat. Let me change that to four: Two years ago Nordlys also taught me that some giraffes may possibly be filled with whipped ...[text shortened]... uld chew me out for my lighthearted Cool Ranch Dorito ear metaphor, this morning, if she could.
So THAT's where Twinkies come from!!!!

I know they're not -- giraffes have kicked people to death -- but they don't bite!
