‘Deceased’ giraffe in pickup truck alarms motorists in Michigan: ‘Is it even real’

Giraffes always stand out in the crowd.

A Michigan taxidermist transports stuffed giraffes in his pickup truck on a busy road when he spots exotic animals creeping creepy in the bed of a vehicle.

The creature's photos went viral, causing concern. Many have questioned whether the animals are real, criticised giraffe hunters, and joked that African hoofed mammals are toy R-US mascots.

“Does anyone know anything about this? Does that even have a real lol?”
