Close encounter at Safari park as hungry giraffes seek out some snacks

A visitor to a Safari park in North Carolina got more than she bargained for when two giraffes poked their heads inside the bus she was on, looking for some nibbles.

The petrified woman tried moving away from the giraffes who were nosing around for some snacks before eventually putting her bowl of carrots on a seat and cowering on the floor.

The giraffes seemed happy enough to munch on the left behind carrots, paying no heed to the terrified woman who feared the worst from the large animals.

Apparently a giraffe can eat up to 75 pounds of food a day, so it is understandable that they might have been a bit peckish.

We bet this lady didn’t expect to get this close to nature on her trip to the safari park!

A memory that will last a lifetime!
