This is Anthony from the Werribee Open Range Zoo. In Africa, he lived with all females and so does not know how to 'live' with males. Therefore, he does not know how to fight, and the other males take advantage of this. He has a horrible odour, a skin disease, and is allergic to his food. Poor Anthony, so troubled yet so adorably cute!! Interestingly enough, giraffes only sleep for 20-25 minutes a day while they are standing up. Add this fact to their very long tongue that they can put up their nose - and I believe I was a giraffe in a former life.
