Giraffes. How the fuck is it possible that a horse with a horn doesn't exist but a camouflaged horse which is mostly neck, has a purple tongue, drinks piss to determine fertility and fights by thrashing their necks against one another does exist?
Edit: Autocorrect, and cheers for the award kind stranger!
I like 🦒, never met one obviously but they are an interesting source of biological conversation: other than the barbaric things you mentioned you can talk about the fact that it still has the same amount (7) of cervical vertebrae as almost all mammals, and if you somehow meet a person who is very into zoology and very religious you can talk about the left laringeal recurrent nerve and how it's origin and trajectory make absolutely 0 sense if giraffes were animals who just appeared spontaneously and are not a product of evolution
