JohnHuntyeah whatever, i blew out the supercharger on a giraffe in zim. Collapsed like ton of bricks (after said bricks ran 30'). Then I got to disect it unlike those guys.
Actually the physiological aspects of a giraffe are quite interesting. Makes you wonder if some mechanical vein could someday regulate human blood pressue to treat hypertension.
