It's just a weird deer thing without spots

[–] dmonzel@lemmy.world 38 points 2 years ago

Stupid long deer.

I always assumed the lighter color of a giraffe was the default or background color and the spots were abnormally dark. This is throwing me off because the spotless one is the same color as the spots would be.

Maybe it's not spotless, but rather all spot!

Giraffes are actually brown wearing tan fishnet bodysuits

[–] Lokoschade@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

If I remember right zebras are also black with white stripes.

They are asking the public (internet) to name it. I guarantee it will either be Spot or Giraffey McGiraffeface.

I'm cool with either.

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Looks like they were smart and made it fixed multiple choice instead of leaving suggestions open to the public.

Another rigged system!

Why are they so scared of democracy?

Neck/Body ratio is really funny. Looks like something I would draw trying to make a deer.

[–] BastingChemina@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 years ago

Giraffe are so weird, the more I look at them the less real they look to me.

It just looks like a normal animal but with completely fucked up ratio.

Imagine trying to draw a giraffe to someone who don't know they exist. They would probably just assume that you suck at drawing.

Long neck horse

would demand a paternity test in place of that father...

My money's on someone accidentally leaving a ladder in the deer enclosure.

[–] Dinodicchellathicc@lemmy.ml 12 points 2 years ago

Wow this is messing with my brain. Never even thought of how much I associate giraffes with there spots.

[–] kindenough@kbin.social 11 points 2 years ago

[–] derfl007@lemmy.wtf 11 points 2 years ago
