Hi, Is it possible to buy & own a giraffe in Scotland? I've been after a giraffe for years & now I want to make it a reality now! I've got a decent sized back garden & I've got an upstairs/downstairs house so it could be fed from the bedroom window without any hassle!! They girls want a hamster but there howling!! Yours faithfully, Chudders. Giraffes aren’t ideal as pets.

We get asked all sorts of questions here at the zoo... But this email and our conversation with a man named Chudders has made us smile so much we just had to share it with you.

So grab a brew, put your feet up and enjoy - we hope it brightens your day!!

The video that started it all... Where we learnt that our Animal Manager has a soft spot for gin and that a giraffe thought an abacus would make a tasty snack.

We bought a fancy new camera to film our animals with and thought it would be a really good idea to give it to one of the strongest and most intelligent animals we have... Oops.
