I am blessed beyond the realms of blessedness, and easily the greatest pleasure is giving it away

We transported eight giraffes, and there are now nine because one gave birth to a male shortly afterwards. They carry their pregnancies very well-they all looked the same.

I never mind scrubbing floors, vacuuming or bending and carrying stuff. Each time I do it I think, this is instead of going to the gym.

They [granddaughters] went to Disneyland and Alice proudly told Snow White: 'My grandmother is a famous atlas!' So that's nice - they're happy that I'm an atlas!

NASA space scientists have been studying giraffe skin so they can apply what they learn from it to the construction of spacesuits.

I was once kissed on the lips by a giraffe, and I don't think I've ever got over it.

In Kenya you've got the great birds and monkeys leaping through the trees overhead. It's a chance to remember what the world is really like.
