Giraffe Gets a Close Look at Camera

Pretty cool video of a giraffe investigating a video camera at the zoo.

Via Digg.

I heard some voices for a short bit at one point. I'd have loved to have been taking that video and having that beautiful giraffe come over for a "look-see."

My philosophy students read an article, "Can Animals Think?" (Time, March 22, 1993), and we discuss it. Most believe animals can, just not exactly as humans do. This "tall fellow" seemed more than curious; he seemed to be trying to figure out what the humans were doing with this funny object--the video camera.

How cute, animals are so amazing.
