There are no miniature giraffes. Sad but true. It is just a clever marketing campaign by Direct TV that has now worked its way onto Facebook. Direct TV had a miniature giraffe in one of their ads and interest was so high they created a website of a farm in Russia that claims to breed them. Even have a giraffe cam where you can watch the little critters live! Except you can't see them. That's cause they're not real. Real cute though.

You would think that, but if you google "miniature giraffe" and see some comments, it makes me wonder. I lost the link, but one site shows how the giraffe was photoshopped into the picture.

I think the OP was trying to see how many people here know it's a joke.
