Believability

Giraffes.

What is their purpose?

I don't know. I'm sure they serve some purpose in the ecosystem, I just don't know what it is and I refuse to google it.

What I do know about giraffes is they eat things that are high. Higher than most of us could ever dream on account of their really long necks. But what do you do when you're a baby giraffe?

According to the eye witness account of one Harvey the robot, a baby giraffe eats it's lunch because mommy giraffe pulls the high branches down low enough for baby to eat.

Do we trust the testimony of a robot? I think that sets a dangerous precedent. I'm not sure I'm ready to live in a world where robots tell us what they saw and we just accept it as fact, are you?

i have it on good authority that the parent giraffe that pulls down the branch for the baby giraffe is SUCH A GOOD HELPER. And then they both got to eat lunch. Harvey might be onto something.
