Girl goes to feed giraffe in Texas – gets picked up from car

This recent meeting at the Fossil Rim Wildlife Center in Texas, USA, took an unexpected turn.

The giraffe lifted two-year-old Paisley out of the car, but then quickly let go.

The girl was completely unharmed, but both mother and father who were filming probably got a shock. When the parents later told about their adventure on American television, Paisley proudly showed off the fabric giraffe she had received as a band-aid for the wounds.

Those responsible at the zoo say that nothing like this has happened before and now the routines must be changed so that it cannot happen again.
