The Great Giraffaggis Discovery, Nature Always Finds a Way


Back in 2005, Scotland nearly got its first Highland Safari Park, a bold idea that would’ve seen elephants roaming the glens and zebras trying their best to survive the midges. But the plan hit the skids when one of the first arrivals, a lanky giraffe called Hamish, escaped from his trailer near Aviemore and vanished faster than a free dram at a wedding. However due to the failure the park was never opened.

For almost two decades, Hamish’s whereabouts remained a mystery. Hikers reported strange sightings of “a tall shadow among the heather” and “hoofprints spaced suspiciously far apart,” but with no proof ever found, most sightings were simply put down to the drink talking.

Until now.

This week, wildlife photographers captured what experts are calling Giraffaggis, a previously unknown species roaming deep in the Cairngorms. Roughly the size of a wee Scottie dug but sporting the neck of a giraffe, the Giraffaggis has left zoologists utterly baffled… yet only one explanation seems remotely plausible.

Zoologists believe the escaped giraffe may have formed an unlikely bond with a native haggis population. How such an encounter led to offspring remains unclear, though one researcher quietly admitted that a "rather randy haggis, a few too many drams, and a ladder" were probably involved.

Conservationists have already begun efforts to protect the small herd, now thought to number fewer than a dozen. Locals in the nearby glens have welcomed the discovery, though many admit they’ll be keeping a closer eye on their livestock..... and their ladders
