How to use giraffe in a sentence?

1. Pat Boone:

   God has a sense of humor. Why else would he invent the porcupine and the giraffe ? something can be devilishly funny, but this skit is diabolical. God has only one real enemy — Satan. Satan ridicules faith, and they’re taking Satan’s side. They’re also ridiculing me and the film, telling impressionableyoung people not to see it because it's ridiculous. Then they throw in that the lawyer is Jewish to make the Christian look even worse, but it’s just anti-Semitic.

2. Jerry Coleman:

   Gonzo leaps like a giraffe and grabs it.

3. Animal Programs Sheri Horiszny:

   We are thrilled to continue our commitment to the sustainability of the Masai giraffe population in North America with this calf.

4. Dan Cassidy:

   They'll go out if they have a chance every day, but the giraffe wouldn't think about it.

5. Tess Thompson Talley:

   The giraffe I hunted was the South African sub-species of giraffe. The numbers of this sub-species is actually increasing due, in part, to hunters and conservation efforts paid for in large part by big game hunting. The breed is not rare in any way other than it was very old. Giraffes get darker with age.
