Seems to me if someone in your town had a baby giraffe then they probably have some adult giraffes too, so everyone in town would be familiar with “that person who owns the giraffes.”

Baby giraffes look sweet. But I wouldn’t dare to come near any Camelopard, ever. I once woke up in a remote hut in Tanzania, opened the door and looked on a giraffes ankle, in arm’s length reach. A lone bull, no less. It was really wonderful, but I wouldn’t have left the hut for money.

It’s also sad to recognize that when small human African-Americans go missing, nobody loses their shit like this.

As a resident of Beaverton I was more than a little disappointed when this turned out to be a hoax. I showed the kids when it first showed up on the r/Portland subreddit, and we debated pretty hard about whether it was real or not - of course our proximity to Portland made it totally believable. At the very least we got a great laugh out of Beaverton PD’s response!
