More Less

The body of the poor giraffe constructed of foam had to be covered with fur and patinated to make it look realistic. It was necessary to use several liters of glue and many meters of faux fur, as well as paint and other materials. The theatres own property master was the designer of the construction and the convincing wounded belly.
