Could Barney Have Been Wrong?!

July 3, 2008

Say it ain’t so, Andy!

For those of you who are fans of the old Andy Griffith shows (and who isn’t . . .)

There was an episode where Barney proclaimed giraffes were selfish. (Dogs help each other out.)

Well, it seems at least one giraffe took that as a call to be more community-minded.

In an article entitled “Police Suspect Giraffe in Circus Breakout” Reuters reports

“Fifteen camels, two zebras and several llamas and pot-bellied pigs escaped from a circus visiting Amsterdam early Monday, police said.

“We suspect that a giraffe kicked open a pen,” Dutch police said in a statement, adding that the animals did not get far before they were rounded up and returned to the circus.”

The suspect’s photo is included below.
