A Giraffe as a Pet?

So mum & dad what sort of pet can we get? Let's look for something different something out of the ordinary. Hey how about a giraffe? Really? Or perhaps another animal of the zoo like a chimp a cheetah an elephant a hippopotamus monkey or even a snow leopard? Then again we could adopt a reptile like a snake or a bearded dragon?....the list just goes on and on and on........Or should we just settle on a cute kitten or cuddly cat? A comical tail (tale) of what animals make for practical pets and which definitely don't fit the bill!
