    Hey, if you want to know what the inside of a giraffe looks like, don't miss "Inside Nature's Giants" on SBS at 8.30 pm tomorrow night (Tues. 4th May.)

    This is episode 2. In episode 1 last week an Asiatic elephant was dissected - gory but very interesting.

    The giraffes are:

    *Jimmyu (castrated male, young - maybe 5 years old)
    *Nyota (Oldest female)
    *Zarafa (female)
    *Andara (Youngish female, handraised at WPZ - about 11 years)

    -----------

    Hope and Charity died about 4-6 years ago....
