Maybe they could get Chic to frame it using an air bag!

This is Lamia and Piccola the two giraffes on tour with the Italian Circo Medrano (Casartelli).

Mark, Do you think Ringling is willing to stick its neck out for a new act like this?

Paul...well, somebody was going to say it.

I think a lot of the success with exotic hoofstock in European circuses is affected by the consistant setting of the back yard unlike the various configurations presented by different buildings in American shows

The circus here in Mexico has 4 giraffe on the show.

Wade, do they go in the ring? We know thart the European style tent set up makes bringing various animals in the ring [even herding] and then they can not jump out. So here in USA we trainers have always had two hands around our back to get a job done. I doubt those Casaterelly girafes would be practical here with RBBB, but then from what I have seen in video with Africvan elephants, I would not bet against them. So be it.
