Watch As Giraffe Feeding Goes Wrong in Hilarious Clip: 'Slobber Everywhere'

An woman's unfortunate encounter with a giraffe at an English safari park has been watched 2.4 million times on TikTok.

In a clip titled "What an experience," TikToker Izzy Rawson is in the passenger seat of a car at West Midland Safari Park, holding out food in her hand as she passes the giraffe enclosure.

One giraffe bends over the fence to take some of the food, as she exclaims: "Oh he's so soft! Let me give him some more." The car then moves on to a second giraffe, who also takes food from her hand—but leaves behind a large amount of giraffe drool.

In a second video, "Giraffe P2," a giraffe can be seen putting its head through the car window, grabbing hold of the bag of feed and spilling it all over the vehicle.

"Never work with children or animals" is a showbusiness adage often attributed to the early Hollywood comedian W.C. Fields, but the unpredictability of animals makes for great entertainment: the hashtag #funnyanimals has had 7.5 billion views on TikTok.

Chimpanzee Break-Out

Earlier this week, a chimpanzee went viral on social media for a daring escape from a zoo in Kharkiv, Ukraine. The chimpanzee reportedly took a stroll around the city while keepers tried to persuade it to come back. As it began to rain, the chimp headed towards one of the keepers, who helped it into a raincoat and escorted it back to the zoo atop a bicycle. Despite the war in Ukraine, during which the city of Kharkiv has been severely shelled, the care of animals in captivity has continued.

Elephant Bodyguards

Everyone who goes on a wild safari hopes to have a special experience. Tourists at the Kruger National Park in the Limpopo province of South Africa certainly got that after two elephant calves ran out of the bush and charged their vehicle. The playful pair stopped short of the cars, apparently losing confidence in the confrontation, and ran back to an older elephant, possibly their mother.

Classic Cat Behavior

Another tourist on safari captured an incredible encounter with a cheetah in the Serengeti, Tanzania. In the clip, a cheetah spotted a canvas-topped car driving through the Serengeti and jumped on to its roof rack, where it flopped down for a nap.

Cheetahs are naturally curious and may approach safari vehicles, according to Tanzania travel company Kopa Tours. "Especially if it is a particularly warm day and the cheetah is looking for some shade from the sun while in the grasslands of the Serengeti," it said on its website.

On TikTok, commenters were both amused and disgusted by Izzy Rawson's videos.

"I love giraffes. But that second one had me gagging," wrote Kelly Marion, who racked up 20,600 likes for the comment.

Another TikTiker, winnie wheat, seemed to be a regular at the safari park, posting: "That giraffe always slobbers like that. I got it all down my car and it dried like cement."

A third user, Fat Friend, wrote: "For once it was actually worth watching until the end."
