00:00How about we go and try and find a giraffe, see if we can put this one on.
00:05Let's do it.
00:06Cool.
00:07Let's go, mate.
00:08Look at it.
00:09Beautiful.
00:10Look at that.
00:11Did you know that a giraffe is an ungulate?
00:28An ungulate is an animal with hooves.
00:32Look at this track here.
00:34You can see how its hooves have pushed into the mud.
00:38It's enormous.
00:39It's bigger than my hand.
00:51Giraffe capture is very complicated and can be quite dangerous, so the team has gathered
00:56together for training on how the whole process is going to take place.
01:03We are headed there now and are seeing lots of giraffe on the way.
01:07Look how dark this one's fur and mane is.
01:13Very often, giraffe get darker and darker as they get older, so if you see a very dark
01:19one, it's probably old.
01:23Look at that beautiful giraffe over there.
01:33Did you know that males have much bigger and thicker ossicones than females?
01:38And only two animals in the world that have ossicones is giraffe and our carpies.
01:53This is where everyone's gathered for giraffe capture.
01:58I've just learnt that the most dangerous place to stand during giraffe capture is near the
02:03giraffe's legs.
02:07Giraffes have very long legs and they can kick very hard, so everybody must stand behind
02:12the giraffe's head and back, otherwise they could get seriously injured.
02:16Right, we're going to do a practice with the ropes and I'm going to be the giraffe.
02:21That's what it feels like to be a giraffe.
