If I could be one animal I think I might chose to be a giraffe. I'd want to live in a place where some humans did, so that I could surprise them by poking my head through the window when they're eating or reading. I think a lot of people like giraffes and it wouldn't hurt to be popular like that. Does the giraffe have any real predators? I don't remember seeing anything about that on "Planet Earth" or national geographic. Maybe the lion or hyena? Being tall might get old after a while, but it'd definitely be better than being a dung beadle. I bet being a giraffe gets lonely sometimes. There don't seem to be that many more giraffes in the world, but how would I know? Only observing them on TV or at the zoo has probably lead to an inaccurate depiction of what a giraffe's life is really like.
