Big Zoo
windowseat

the park shut in 1998. this was filmed last week.

Larkfield. I was waiting for a bus on the main road. I thought it was one of the statues until it turned.

I have not been inside. The entrance in the video is boarded up.

Silent public-road view of the closed park; the distant giraffe turns its head once.

The position is the stop on the public road. You can see the sign at the beginning.

i think giraffes actually aren't real.

i have been thinking about this since yesterday and nobody has given me an answer that isn't just a picture of a giraffe.

the head is too far from the rest of it. you can make the legs longer or the neck longer but doing both is excessive. then somebody has added the little knobs. why the knobs. they don't do anything.

every picture that is supposed to prove a giraffe exists was taken by someone who went somewhere specifically to see a giraffe. that is not an independent sample. i have never found one accidentally. horses appear in places. a horse will be standing in a field you weren't expecting. all giraffes have an appointment.

also look at how they drink. that cannot be the approved way to drink. if i sold you something that needed to stand like that to reach water you would send it back.

i'm not saying they're people in suits. i don't think there is enough space. i'm saying we have accepted a drawing of an animal and then built a whole set of places where you are allowed to look at the drawing.

please stop sending me the same video. the video has a fence in it.

You have ruled out every possible observation before asking for observations. An animal doesn't become imaginary because somebody put a fence around it.

the fence matters because somebody is controlling where you stand. nobody lets you look at the back.

I have seen the animal from behind. You still have to specify what would count as a clear view.

The drinking position is the part I cannot stop looking at. Why do the front legs have to go that far apart?

Ducks manage to drink with their heads down as well. Why would that be impossible?

ducks are quite a lot closer to the ground. i am asking about the amount of animal above the ground.

You started with distance from the head and you've moved to height from the ground. Which measurement would let you change your mind?

The little knobs could be protective, or something else. I have never seen a proper explanation of what they do.

They are called ossicones. Naming them is not an explanation of their use.

Someone has found that old Expose Giraffes site again. New thread here. I remembered this post first, then spent half an hour trying to find a bookmark in a browser I no longer have.

The Professor introduction says the facts were permitted only as satire. That is their claim about the recording, not a caption I added.

i remember the branch too. if somebody asked me to draw the lesson from memory, the branch would be there before i could explain why.

getting somewhere to hunt a giraffe sounds like a considerable commitment. it is not the sort of errand you fit in before voting.

the picture makes the giraffe look like the version that forgot to crouch. i would like to see the two animals compared at ground level instead of both posed upright.

And put ticketed places on that map differently. It is still a claim about where somebody was allowed to look.
