Say, if a bloke or two took hold of each leg, how many guys would it take ? Lets call it an average adult female giraffe, and average adult males doing the lifting...

If people, can they use equipment such as a helecopter?
How about a rock and a really long piece of wood?
We're talking on earth, and on land yes?
Is the girafe co-operating?

I think, after carefull thought, that like everythingelse, the answer is probably 42.

After a lil Google action I come up with the stats of such a giraffe and Human males:
Female: Height: up to 15 ft; Weight: up to 2600 lbs (with an average weight of about 1600 lbs).
And the avergae Human Male weights between (168 to 183 lbs.)

I figure every male can lift double his weight. So that would come out to....... I say no more than 6.

42? Ha! Maybe Midgets......

yeah, I figured 6 to 8 dudes could do it...
2 men on each leg would be about right...

Wouldn't want to use any contraptions GMT, might hurt the lady giraffe...

Let's consider a cooperative giraffe, and an un-cooperative one as well...

Well if it was night time, and no one was around, I reckon you could "lift" a giraffe from a zoo with the right key and food with only one guy.

Maybe you better just figure on an un- cooperative one.

why would we ( men ) want to find out? After smoking a joint and careful contemplation, we'd just leave the damn giraffe there....
