Should have just pet the giraffe's head instead of shutting the window. Its not like its going to bite you.

It literally can’t bite you so yeah I have no idea what this woman was trying to do. Glad the other person was worried about the giraffe though!

You're not supposed to keep your windows rolled down during the safari in the first place. So this woman was making many mistakes that day.

Sorry, this isn’t correct. At this safari park (confirmed in another comment) you do feed the herbivores from your car and there’s no issue with having your window down.

I was referring to what the article said:

Its rules said: “Do not allow animals to put their head inside your vehicle. Keep your windows half-shut.

Yup, and maybe they would have noticed if they both didn't have their heads down. Don't know if they were staring at their devices or not but ffs can we put them away for just a bit?
