Giraffe was confused and thought the mom was offering the child to the giraffe.

That giraffe was like this is my baby now 😂
A spokesperson for the Giraffe explained its reasoning at the time of the incident... _"Aw, so cute. Gimmie a kiss."_
Next time they'll think dressing the toddler up as a banana, and sitting on a prop that looks like a bowl of food, are bright ideas
We need sensible giraffe control laws.
Why in the heck would you have a toddler in the bed of a pickup truck? Parents had no sense at all! And why was this even allowed?

THANKS! I thought I was the only poster who was PISSED about this! It's NOT cute or even REMOTELY FUNNY! Those "parents" put their child at risk for a FREAKING photo-op!! And they don't think they did anything wrong! WOW!!

At the end of the video they mention that the park is banning people from riding in the back of trucks, which you would hope someone would have thought of before it was demonstrated by our long-necked buddy to be a bad idea.
Good to see the family took it in stride👍🏼 And their daughter has something to tell her friends😊
Kudos to this family for taking this incident for what it was and not blowing the thing out of proportion. Nobody got hurt, they laughed about it, gave the kid a giraffe toy and plan to return. Too many people would try to capitalize on this kind of thing and claim PTSD and a cash pay out.

Lol i think the toddler is older
well done to the parents for not trying to sue and see the funny side.
Nice people. The people who have them in their lives are fortunate.
Wild animals or animals in a enclosure can be very unpredictable. Best is not to take any changes with them at all.
Giraffe was just playing.

Daaaaannng that tiktok video looked like the giraffe bit her arm off
What it was was, you know how parents throw their kids up in the air and catch them if they can, well that's what the giraffe was trying to mimic. It did a pretty good job if you ask me.
Stupid people. They should not have been in the bed of the pickup truck. Most safari parks have that rule.
It’s Texas.
Blame the parents. You don't ride through a wild animal park with your sunroof open.

Same people that would jump in a gorilla enclosure. Do not expect logic from them. Same very people that get injured than blame the gorilla for being a gorilla. RIP Harambe.
They're strong
This is extremely aggravating trying to watch the actual effing footage and they only play it for 0.4 seconds at a time.

Welcome to the news
What a moment … the giraffe did nothing kid wasn’t hurt … she has a great story for when she gets older and the video for it too … giraffe did nothing wrong neither did the parents … now the place is overacting about it just like people do about everything nowadays … it’s just a good laugh that’s all
Here today gone tomorrow
I don’t feel bad for these people. Why would you do that? There are rules. What if the giraffe had taken the baby away?

That child molester nearly kidnapped their daughter and instead of having him arrested, they gave her a toy version of the suspect. This world is spiraling out of control.
