It's an incredibly difficult thing to bring a giraffe down. They can kill a lion with a single blow from their feet.

Hundreds of political prisoners still suffer in Tibetan prisons. Freedom of speech is not allowed in any sense. It is illegal to possess a photo of the Dalai Lama.

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 would do anything to keep looking the job. I think you make an extra effort if you're on show.
