Even though movies try and be as animal friendly as possible, the life of an animal actor is not an easy one.

Anyone who's seen the trailer for The Hangover Part III knows that animals can get the short end of the stick in films sometimes.

Like the giraffe that gets decapitated while being driven around by Zach Galifianakis.

PETA was clearly not happy when they saw this, even though it's just CGI.

They said:

Una Healy is in a rock band AND she's a mother, so she's seen a lot of cool and crazy things in her life.

But this may have topped all of that!

While taking her daughter Aoife to the zoo, Una had someone take their picture.

But a giraffe totally sneaked in the frame!

Luckily, Una was a good sport about it.

Here's what The Saturdays' band member wrote:

Move over Alice! There's a new girl in that town you call Wonderland!

A fresh-faced Taylor Swift covers Wonderland magazine's "Outspoken" issue posing as the Queen of Hearts in a red Christian Dior dress.

And just look at those baby blues! They're soul-piercingly beautiful!

The rest of Swifty's spread is just a quirky as her cover, making sweet surreal love to Tung Walsh's camera whilst walking amongst the clouds in a sunshine yellow Simone Rocha dress, channeling her inner Mrs. Robinson wearing a granny-approved Versus print dress and even hugging a blow-up giraffe.

After all those sugary sweet shoots, it's kinda refreshing to see Taylor getting Harlem Shake crazy on set.

Check out all the shots from Taylor's spread (below)!

Houston Zoo just got a brand new baby!!

Yao is a 139-pound male Masai Giraffe that was just born to 5-year-old mom Neema and 6-year-old dad Mtembei.

They must be so proud of the not-so-little guy!

He's already 74-inches tall! That's 6'2"!!

So his name makes too much sense. He's called Yao after basketballer Yao Ming!

Yao is all about conservation and saving animals so we bet he's honored to have the new baybay named after him.

The baby made it's public debut last Saturday and now joins the other 8 giraffe guests at the zoo.

He's just so friggin cute we don't know what to do!!

Congrats on the new baby!

There's something CUTEz walking around the merry old land of Oz!

Australia's Mogo Zoo has welcomed another baby Rothschild giraffe to the fold. Mama Shani went into labor on the morning of January 24 and visitors got to watch the circle of life for 1.5 hours while the female calf was born.

This is Shani's third babe and she's proven to be a great mom, and the newborn is bonding well with her.

Except when she's had enough of mama's kissies! Too CUTEz!

Sometimes….life doesn't get any better than a day with the fam….

A day with the fam…and a new giraffe friend!!! LOLz!

Dancing with the Stars alum and legal commentator Nancy Grace took her kiddies to see the beautiful babes at Busch Gardens yesterday.

There, the family got to enjoy some sunshine rays and a couple of giraffe kissies!!!

Awww….so schweet! We LUV happy family moments!

A couple days ago, we showed you a CRAAAAAAZZZZY giraffe fight, and while we don't see this on a regular basis, the Discovery channel is showing us a super VIOLENT look at how these animals throw down!!

In the clip (above), which is narrated by Forest Whitaker, we get a look at the 90-second film dubbed Kalahari, and we cannot believe how intense giraffe fighting is!!

These animals literally know how to go neck and neck!! LOLz! Just watch them go at (above)!
