animal lovers can be so cuuuuuuuute

A woman was licked and kicked by a giraffe like this one when she jumped into the animal's pen at the zoo in Madison, Wisc., on Saturday. The 24-year-old explained she loved giraffes. Zoo personnel pointed out that giraffes can kill lions, so the woman --  whatever other enfeeblements she might suffer -- was lucky not to have been hurt worse.
