I'm researching uses of Single Wire Earth Return systems for rural electrification. Distribution and Transmission World reports that:
The design and height of the conductor supports used on SWER lines in Africa must take into account the hazard to giraffes caused by inadequate ground clearance. Records confirm the tallest-ever giraffe was measured at 5.88 m (19.3 ft), although the average height is 5.3 m (17.4 ft), and reports confirm that species have been electrocuted where the ground clearance was less than 5.2 m (17 ft).

You know. Just something to be mindful of when designing a power transmission system.

I read it again, it didn't mean to be funny, it was their real concern.
