Don't you be calling my sweet little giraffe ugly. I think he's cute! I could say a couple of things about your DOG, you know! Maybe he had a unfortunate mishap as a young camel and fractured his humps! Trying to run under a very low tree branch sideways?

plover, dear - um, no self-respecting giraffe would be seen hanging around with one of these

I mean really! What happened to his humps? They're listing to port!
Ohhhh... port... starboard... depends on which end of the camel you're facing.Gokul43201 said:
He was on vacation/holiday.Anyway, I don't think it was a mishap that bent his humps to starb'd. I think he's just been eating too much, and collecting too much fat in those humps. I mean, aren't camels supposed to live in deserts ? What's this guy doing in the middle of a lush tropical paradise ?

Giraffes have two little horn/nubbins on the tops of their little heads. Camels don't!11 
AND - while a giraffe might smoke a Camel, a camel will not smoke a giraffe. (well, unless he's been drinking...)franznietzsche said:Tsu, starborad is right. And the camel looks like a giraffe.

It wasn't until I tried opening the giraffe image in photoshop that I realized the thing is animated – most animations are turned off in my browser. I thought it was some kind of optical illusion thingy! If you stare at the background frame long enough, it's possible to convince yourself (well, ok, it's possible to convince me) that there a pattern there that might be a giraffe (or a camel). (What it's only my brain that does this? 
) Besides the thing's all greens, and I'm color-blind (hence the idea of opening it in photoshop and messing with the color channels).
