Née avec une malformation, cette girafe a été soignée avec des attelles

(2022-05-16_14-44-11)


Une girafe, baptisée Msituni, est née début février au zoo de San Diego, en Californie. Mais ses soigneurs ont rapidement remarqué qu’elle souffrait d’une malformation articulaire, l’empêchant de se déplacer normalement. Le personnel du zoo a donc demandé de l’aide à une clinique spécialisée, qui fabrique habituellement des prothèses pour les athlètes ayant un handicap.


FORTUNE'S GUIDE TO DEALING WITH REAL-LIFE SCIENCE FICTION: #2
What to do...
if you get a phone call from Mars:
Speak slowly and be sure to enunciate your words properly. Limit
your vocabulary to simple words. Try to determine if you are
speaking to someone in a leadership capacity, or an ordinary citizen.

if he, she or it doesn't speak English?
Hang up. There's no sense in trying to learn Martian over the phone.
If your Martian really had something important to say to you, he, she
or it would have taken the trouble to learn the language before
calling.

if you get a phone call from Jupiter?
Explain to your caller, politely but firmly, that being from Jupiter,
he, she or it is not "life as we know it". Try to terminate the
conversation as soon as possible. It will not profit you, and the
charges may have been reversed.
