ANGRY GIRAFFE DESTROYS BIKE

AN ANGRY giraffe gave a bush-riding cyclist a scare when he stomped his £2K bike into the dirt. Pictures show how the determined 18-foot-tall creature took such a dislike to this cyclist - who was taking picture of the giraffe on his mobile phone - that the enraged animal gave chase until he finally destroyed the cyclist's mountain bike. The cyclist who stirred up the giraffe's anger, Louise John Rex and his friend Ryk van Niekerk, who took the footage, were travelling by bike across the Groenkloof Nature Reserve in Pretoria, South Africa.'I had to jump off my bike immediately - there was no time to drive away,' said Louise.
