A 22-year-old Kaunas student has been roughed-up by a giraffe at the local zoo.
The drunk student (female) was attacked by the sober nine-year-old giraffe (male) after she disturbed it in its sleep. She was kicked in the head a few times and scored a broken collar bone. Zoo keepers say that if the giraffe and been awake, and outside it's sleeping quarters, things could have been a lot worse.
The drunk students had managed to both enter the zoo and open the door of the giraffe enclosure late on Monday night. We suspect a review of security at Kaunas zoo may be necessary to keep the animals out.
