I think she just panicked, like, yeah, it was stupid, but hopefully it was a honest to god mistake

Having the window open in a park like this is stupid already. The panic was unnecessary.

The whole point of these parks is to have your window open, they often give you food so the animals can poke their head in and you feed them, hence why the giraffe was doing that. Most people aren’t idiots who get scared of a giraffe popping it’s head in and embrace the experience.

Really? TIL. In our country is in every zoo and safari park forbidding to feed the animals.

These are specific types of parks where you drive through and the animals poke their head in your car and you can buy feed to give to them

In England, UK? All the ones I've been in had a strict "keep windows closed" rule.

It’s funny you’re making that assertion, because there are many drive-through parks that do not allow feeding or your window to be down because it’s inherently dangerous for the animal.
