What a pane in the neck...

A CURIOUS giraffe at a safari park had a shattering experience when it reached into a car through an open window.

The window began to go up but it was halted by the creature’s head and smashed moments later – sending shards of glass over the animal’s face and neck.

Footage shows Strider the giraffe pulling its head away in shock but bosses at West Midland Safari Park said the majestic animal was “checked over immediately by staff and sustained no injuries from the glass”.

Chiefs at the attraction in Bewdley, Worcs, are probing the incident. There were two people in the car.

It is believed the giraffe was on the lookout for food.
